Reviews for The Dust of 100 Dogs

""Pirates, reincarnation, dogs, teenage angst, a romance that spans the centuries, magic, treasure--all are wrapped up inside a fun Goth cover. . . ""--SLJ ""An undeniably original book.""--Booklist ""King weaves an unusual and astounding story from these disparate premises...A remarkable and compelling story for readers seeking something out of the ordinary.""--VOYA ""An intricate and sometimes very funny story. The character of Saffron is the embodiment of an escapist fantasy."" --The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star ""Exciting, fascinating, spellbinding. I'd follow Saffron into the briny deep.""-Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod ""A non-traditional pirate tale with a dangerously raw, mystical edge and a unique modern twist.
