Parent Guide
In World War II London, 13-year-old bicycle messenger Jack avoids falling bombs while navigating the rubble-strewn streets. Then he finds a dog that has survived a Nazi bombing raid and discovers that Rip can sniff out people who are trapped under debris. Jack hopes that having the dog by his side will help him to save lives, including those of his Jewish friend Paula’s family, who worry about a possible Nazi invasion. But Jack faces an uphill battle to convince his difficult father to let him keep Rip. This fast-paced adventure is based in part on true episodes during the Blitz in WWII London.
