Night Owl Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan

The book To Night Owl From Dogfish written by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer is a nonfiction book about two girls named Avery and Bett. The story is about two single dads getting together and their daughters (Avery and Bett) are exchanging letters and trying to end their dads’ relationship. By the sound of it, I don’t think many people would read this book, that’s what I first felt too but as I read the book, I started to like it more and I think many people would like it. I enjoyed it because it is in an interesting format and it has a good story. The authors describe the character well and I can picture the scenario just by reading the book. (Rachel, Grade 8)

"To NightOwl from Dogfish" By Holly Goldberg Sloan is about 2 girls who are not at all related and are about to befriend each other by going to the same camp because their fathers decided they were both going to spend their summer in the east. While camping they both become friends and send emails to each other. Something unexpected happened between their dads while having their trip in China and they weren’t friends anymore but kept sending each other emails trying to get their dads back together. This book is based on an email story where the story is told through emails back and forth to people. I would recommend this book to girls only as it is not appropriate for boys. I think that this genre should best fit into Adventure and Realistic Fiction as they go on an adventure and their problems are linked to real life. (Ellery. Grade 7)

To Night Owl from Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer is a book about two twelve year old girls from who didn't know each other and maybe becomes sisters. Their gay dads fell to each other and started dating. Their dads plan a foreign trip to somewhere. Avery and Bett meets in person at a camp and they were open to personal life. Avery then gets to meet a person whom she does not remember thanks to Bett. Some of the craziest events happen in this book. This book contains some pages with topics that boys shouldn't know and because of that, I recommend this book to girls to who are above ten or eleven years old. This book also fits into the book genre of realistic fiction and also epistolary novel since this book is reading the back and forth e-mail of the main characters, Avery and Bett. (Ahyun. Grade 7)
