this was an epic book, I started it then left it for a bit but I started from where I left off today and once I got into it I read it pretty quickly. it was quite wholesome. I loved George and gizmo, so the bits where they get bullied are kind of heartbreaking and it also gets quite sad as dog books usually do, but it also had a sweet ending. worth the read in my opinion. another randomly picked library book turned success.

Like the Soup Movement, this story didn't let us down. Fun characters and a good storyline.

A lovely story of a boy and his dog - but with more depth and emotion. When George realises that his faithful dog is coming to the end of his years, he decides to make him a bucket list which includes amongst other things:- 15 minutes of fame, climbing the big hill and eating ice cream.
It's a story of bravery, friendship, family and change. I'll admit that I cried, the depiction of Gizmo was perfect and his diary entries were very well articulated.
