Customer Reviews

great read for kids and adults

I ordered this book for my son, who is 8 and a good reader, because he loves collies and stories about collies. We also have a collie he wants to teach to herd. He devoured this book--couldn't put it down, and then he wanted to read it to me, which he did. It is a great story of a lonely orphan boy who finds his place in a new home (and country) as he raises and trains a sheepdog. It has suspense and is very heart-warming. My son loves it so much, he has begun reading it a third time, second time aloud, so the whole family can enjoy it (daddy was out of town the first 2 readings). Dog lovers will enjoy it. More than a simple chapter book.
