Fans of Ross Welford’s other children’s books have no doubt come to expect from his stories a good dose of time travel, technology-gone-wrong or an otherwise thrilling sci-fi twist, and his new book The Dog Who Saved the World follows suit perfectly. The climactic confrontation pits oceangoing mammals, seabirds, fish, and even zooplankton against hardware and technology in a nicely choreographed battle. By the way, if you’re thinking the parallels to real-life might make the book too scary, be assured: there’s a happy ending and I have been careful to bear in mind my core readers’ age.This unusual group is trying to save the world from a viral disease identified as canine-borne Ebola (CBE) that is spreading through the United Kingdom and causing the death of hundreds of dogs due to a mistake by Georgina. The book is also strong in aspects like action, adventure, mystery and love between the dog and his owner. She claims it can send them into the future, something Georgie is willing to try, despite the dangers, if the future holds a cure for the disease that is threatening all dogs – including her beloved Mister Mash – and even humanity itself. I got to see a preview of a session on mindfulness by Christopher Willard and was impressed with the ease with which Devishobha guides the discussion to the needs of the Indian parent community. Der Spannungsaufbau ist wunderbar gelungen und zieht sich bis zum Ende hin durch, wird aber von einem gelungenen Ende abgerundet.

Eleven-year-old Georgie lives in Whitley Bay with her dad, brother Clem and dad’s girlfriend, Jessica. Unimpressed, Georgie volunteers to help out at the dog shelter where Mr Mash is rehoused, but is soon no longer allowed to see him after a deadly and highly contagious disease threatens the life of every dog in the country and to her horror, Mr Mash himself becomes sick. This book was published in 2019, before the global Covid-19 pandemic, and it was incredibly interesting (and at times moving) to read it today in 2022.

Of course, with the exception of using a virtual time travelling machine to bring a cure to the present! The main criticism I'll make of this is the narrative falls apart and becomes a bit strained and illogical. A very interesting read that I would highly recommend, as the author had no way of knowing just how relevant it would become! When Dad’s new girlfriend Jessica moves in, Georgie’s beloved dog Mr Mash is forced to move out because of Jessica’s pet allergies. Well-pitched for the crossover between Upper KS2 and Lower KS3, The Dog Who Saved The World is an intelligent and absorbing story that raises thought-provoking questions about responsible use of new or under-tested technologies.
