In a town of more than 3 million people, the search seemed hopeless, but this tale of friendship will surprise and delight you as you find out what happens

It would be interesting to find out where she originally came from and what really happened to her when she went missing, but long story short, it all ended well.

One of my favorite books.
Derived From Web , Jul 19, 2021
I read the original adult version of this book and is one of my favorites. I always share the book, but often ask for it back. I wanted to read this version so that I can buy it to an after-school program this fall. Also love this version. Looking forward to a film version, which I understand is in the works!

I don 't remember hearing about it in the states when it was going on, but that was probably for the best. I am not sure that I could have stood the suspense. Good ending for a beautiful boy '' and his family.

My son, 11 years old, loved this book absolutely. He always found it hard to get into reading, but he LOVED it. He'd read a chapter or two and come tell me all about it! I am so glad the author wrote this children's version! I am now looking for other doganimal adventure non-fiction for him!
