My daughter loved the book. She couldn't wait for me to finish it so that we could talk about it. I, of course, always appreciate a book that can keep my children interested and entertained.
Bobbie Pyron does a great job telling a realistic story of the trials and obstacles both the dog and the girl go through. She is a great story teller and I appreciated how she could get inside the thoughts of a dog without the dog having human emotions. Overall, it was a good book and I would recommend it. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
She has another book coming out in the fall called "The Dogs of Winter" based on a true story in Russia of a boy who is adopted by a pack of stray dogs that he lives with for 2 years. I plan on reading that one and having my son read it.
One fun side note: The book club was able to meet the author as she came to our meeting to discuss her book and answer any questions. We loved meeting her and she was great to talk to and took the time to answer everyone's questions. It was a wonderful evening.
After reading about this fun little book club on your blog, my daughter and I decided to join in the fun at the library near us. We just picked up our first book. So excited! I'm glad we heard about it through you.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I hope you two enjoy it as much as my daughter and I have. I believe the county libraries are all doing the same books just at different times during the year. It will be fun if we are reading the same books throughout the year.
