Wild has been on the run -- jumping from one family to the next --
ever since she left Chance almost a year ago. But when a mysterious
canine corporation, C.A.T., abducts her and threatens to hurt
Chance, she will stop at nothing to escape and find her old friend.
Together again, Wild and Chance must enlist the help of Junebug to
hack into C.A.T.'s computer to discover what they really want. But
along the way, the group is reunited with an old friend and
introduced to the Puppio puppies -- love-at-first-sight cute, with
massive eyes, who smell like apple pie. Even though they may look
cute on the outside, Wild is convinced everything isn't as it
seems. When she finds out a shocking discovery about her past, Wild
must decide who is more important to protect -- her past, her best
friend, or the greater Los Angeles area who are in incredible
Puppio danger. Equal parts heart-pounding action and heartfelt
journey, this second book in the Wild & Chance series grabs
readers from page one and never lets go.
