I expected this to be a boy and his dog story, but it's not. I mean I guess it it, but it's really the story of a boy that idolized his late grandfather. His dad left. His mom hurt her back at work and she's become addicted to opioids. They live in extreme poverty. He's trying to hide all of this from the people around him to keep protective services away, and wants to keep bills paid so they don't lose the property his grandfather left him.

Great book.
