THE PET WAR is a hilarious story about the timeless battles of dog vs. cat, brother vs. sister, know-it-all vs. know-nothing.
Eleven-year-old Otto wants a dog. His twelve-year-old perfect sister, Lexi, wants a cat. Their mother, who works very long hours as a nurse, wants neither. Pets are expensive so who's going to pay for everything? And what happens to the pet when the siblings are at their dad's for the weekend?
Otto has an idea. What if he got a job and earned enough money to pay for the dog? Then Lexi has to open her big mouth. She proposes that whichever sibling can raise enough money first will decide which pet they get. Oddly enough, their mom and dad agree.
With Otto and Lexi each out to defeat the other, their business plans become more elaborate and involved. As the competition gets fiercer, the stakes get higher, and the battle lines have been drawn, so let the Pet War begin. . . .

I just finished this book and I LOVE it. Its is such a nice story. Definitely in my top ten favorite books of all time!!!!!!!!
I read this book last year, it's fun. I like cats and dogs equally, but I have a dog. My brother wanted one. Is it just me, or is it always girls like cats boys like dogs?
So far this book is really good! It's about this one kid named Otto and he wants a dog but his sister wants a cat. They both have to raise money and see who gets $500 first. Then whoever gets $500 first gets to pick the animal they want.
My friend has this book she got it yesterday. She wants to read it. She read the back she think she will like it. Now I want to read the book. LOL
