The Secret Life of Pets 2: The Deluxe Junior Novelization retells the whole story of Max, Gidget, Duke, and all of the pet co-stars. This hardcover edition features eight pages of full-color images from the movie, a pullout poster, and it's a great read for boys and girls ages 8 and up. The Secret Life of Pets 2 picks up where the summer 2016 blockbuster--about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day--left off. The film will see the return of writer Brian Lynch (Minions) and director Chris Renaud (The Secret Life of Pets, Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax).
