**Luther the Dog**

*In a small town calledCedarville in New York

In Savannahs house at a birthday party for Luther

I think the story takes place in the present.

Setting

Realistic Fiction because someone could… ~hide a dog while at camp

~break into houses to find the true identity of someone ~stay outside of a bad guys house and break into it once they fall asleep.

Genre

At the end of the book Swindle caught the gang in his rented cabin. Savannah protected Luther when she punched Swindle and then the parents come. Then Pitch shows Savannah the sheet she found in Swindle’s SUV that said Luther was legally Savannah’s dog.

My Favorite Part
