A favorite that will always be a favorite. I love this story. It's full of adventure and tension, but also love and sadness. There is a true emotional journey from beginning to end. The story is pure and genuine with a great protagonist in Billy and an approach to narrative style that feels authentic. I have read this many times over and I will never tire of it. Middle grade at its finest...even though it has torn my heart out a million times. ...more

My son has to read this for his 5th grade literature class and since I never had to read it in school, I decided to also read it. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I loved the love between the boy and his dogs.
