The Adventures of Lucky and Mr. Pickle

Mr. Pickle decides to run away in search of his real family. Lucky, his heart broken and confused, heads out into the wild to find Mr. Pickle and bring him home.



The Great Escape, the third book in The Adventures of Lucky and Mr. Pickle series, closes out the first of three trilogies. Mr. Pickle has a scary experience at the vet, making him angry at Papa and Lucky. Shadow reminds him that they aren't his real family. He's adopted, and his real family is somewhere else. Shadow is shocked that her words prompt Mr. Pickle to run away to find them, kicking off a series of thrilling events. Once Lucky learns what's happened, he sets off alone to track down his little brother before the pup runs into danger or, worse, gets lost . . . forever.

Will Mr. Pickle find his real family by the end of the story?

The Adventures of Lucky and Mr. Pickle: The Great Escape raises questions not only about what makes a family but also about what makes a real family. Where do you call home? Is there truly a difference between blood relatives and adopted ones? What makes a family . . . real?
