Title: Not For Sensitive Chidren...
Review: My nine-year old daughter was thrilled to select this book to read for a school project. She happily began reading it on her own, and I with her before bed. When I picked her up from school today she was in tears, telling me she had read ahead in the book and the beloved dog, after finally being united with the boy, dies suddenly near the end of the book. She was so upset she did not want to finish the book nor use it for her project. She is an avid reader and I have never had this experience before. If your child is tenderhearted or has a special love for animals, please read this book for yourself before sharing it with them. You become so attached to the dog that it is just gut-wrenching to have him die at the end (kind of like a downer movie you wish you hadn't paid to see). Had I known the ending of this book, I would never have let her take it home.
