This book was somewhat boring. The story is sweet but after having seen the movie version (Homeward Bound), I found it less interesting. Tao was my favorite character.

3/5 Stars

That was cute and heartwarming while also nail-biting at times. Could have sworn I've read it before but maybe I'm thinking of something else.

I forgot how good this book was. I just read it to my girls - the writing is beautiful and evocative. -

Beautiful story! Even though I knew the ending, I still teared up.

I hate to say it, but it did not hold up to the movie. Don't get me wrong, I think there's potential here but I didn't love the method of which the story was told.
