I think this was the first kind of "horror" book I read, or at least a book that made me feel that way. 13 year old me was haunted by it and cried at the end.

This was my FAVORITE book when I was seven, and it holds up decently well as an adult, so it gets five stars.

This book made me cry. I guess I should've expected that.

I really liked the way the voice of Logan was written. It felt very natural and was easy and fun to read

A poor man’s [b:Where the Red Fern Grows|10365|Where the Red Fern Grows|Wilson Rawls|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1518702249s/10365.jpg|115]. Young Logan has a father that abandoned him, a stepfather who thinks he can’t do anything right, and a mother that never seems to be on his side. Logan’s stepdad wants him to be more like the neighbor’s kid so they decide to get him a dog, but not just any dog it has to be a purebred chocolate lab named Jack. Somehow Logan convinces his mom to take him to a shelter where he picks out the ugliest, meanest, mutt on the premises. Now the two of them are on the run from Logan’s family, from the disease that’s killing all the dogs and from the roving gangs of vigilantes.

I wasn’t really impressed. The concept was interesting but I think the implementation could have been better.

For a YA novel, it deals with some big topics, especially for dog owners! I found it an engaging read, and very much enjoyed the relationship of the young boy with his dog, and certainly one I could empathise with as dog owner myself. I have to say, I thought it might have a happier ending that it did.

A book I read in elementary. When I went back to it, I was amazed. One, at the fact that it was allowed in an Elementary school, two, because this novel is incredible.
