Very funny and so loveable.
Charming narrator and really touching character developments, as he sees the people around him in new light. A lovely warm-hearted read.
A story about dogs, and love, and the power of words...
A boy, a dog and a whole lot of awesome. LOVE this book.
A beautifully written adventure story about a dog and the boy that found him, that perfectly captures contemporary family dynamics and a child's need to be 'incredible', wrapped up with a generous dose of humour and warm hearted love.
A warm, accessible and funny celebration of finding faith in yourself. I can't recommend it enough!
A tender, unsentimental adventure, filled with family ties, love and courage
