excellent sequel

This is an excellent sequel to Hello, Goodbye, I Love You. I really love Ms. Bauer-Mueller's tale of what it takes emotionally to raise a seeing-eye dog and then give it away. It takes strength of character from both giver and receiver. Revisiting the characters made me realize how much I loved the first one. Share this book with your friends.

Terrific read for young and old

We really loved the whole book because it was a story of adventure, love, friendship, loyalty, devotion, perseverance, and triumph. What more could you want from a story? In Aloha Crossing, Pamela does a tremendous job of having the reader be "right there" with the characters. We feel Kimberly Louise's frustration, we know what it's like to be lost during a hurricane, and we grow to love each character more and more as the book goes on. This is a terrific read for young and old.

A MUST- read for people of all ages!

I could not put this book down until I found out if Aloha made it through the hurricane. Living on an island, you know hurricanes are always a possibility so living this one out through the lives of Kimberly Louise & Diego was exciting and scary at the same time. Trying to imagine what life is like without seeing comes alive as Pamela Bauer Mueller let me "see" into Kimberly Louise's life. Having Aloha as her faithful companion almost makes me not feel badly about her blindness. Diego inspired me with his courage and trustworthiness, traits that reminded me how young people can really make a difference in the lives of others. Kids of all ages will be encouraged to follow their dreams, work hard and enjoy the moment. A MUST-read for people of all ages.
