Booklist - 03/15/2020 Taken as a whole, the Peachey family can be pretty obnoxious. Pa is fearful, unreasonable, and stubborn. Ollie is a lonely, argumentative teen in search of a girlfriend, and his older sister, Ava, is fixated on philosophy. Luckily, their younger sister, Betty, is a good-natured girl, and Ma Peachey is sensible. Otherwise, McTavish, a highly skilled “rescue dog,” might have given up on saving this family soon after he adopted them. Instead, he saves their vacation—a camping trip—from sure disaster. How? He encourages singing around the campfire by howling loudly, and he cleverly engineers a family hike up the mountain by getting “lost” and staying ahead of them on the trail. With generous margins, wide-spaced lines of type, and 10 enjoyable gray-scale illustrations created in mixed media and collage, the book has an inviting look. Versatile writer Meg Rosoff shows her lighter side in the ever-amusing McTavish series, which offers episodic stories featuring a memorable canine protagonist and a believably flawed family in need of his help. An appealing choice for early chapter-book readers. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.
