Description
Get ready to run . . . an edge-of-your-seat thriller with bite from international bestselling author Linwood Barclay, in his first novel for 9-12 year olds.
Chase tells the story of Chipper, a very special dog. As part of a top-secret, multi-million dollar experiment to create the ultimate canine spy technology, Chipper's entire life has been spent within the confines of a secret organisation known only as The Institute. Chipper is supposed to be more machine than mutt, but something's awry and The Institute is well aware of it. He's on the brink of being terminated.
Across the state, twelve-year-old orphan Jeff Conway is working tirelessly at his aunt Flo's lakeside cabin business. He yearns for his parents, his previous life, and the dog he had to leave behind.
When Chipper makes a daring escape and crosses paths with Jeff, boy and dog find themselves entangled in the most perilous game of chase imaginable...
Winner of the Arthur Ellis award for Best Kid's Crime Novel
Danger, secrets, and thrilling suspense await in Linwood Barclay's action-packed first novel for children.
