Ratings and reviews

I love this book so much and I have the book in person not on a screen but it's tore up and everything also my puppy Maggie likes to gnaw on it so it's hard to read anything in there so I was hoping I could get wet this book but it's out of my Google balance range

Sad and the best book ever to be wrote it brilliant 😘 I love this book I'm only ten but I think that everybody in this world should read this book greatest book I've ever read in my life take it from a ten year old

It is sad but is so deatailed and will leave you speechless. I could not put is down when Squirrel left Bone after being thrown out of a car by George. I cried when I read that. I also thought it was really sad when Moon died and Squirrel lived. But Squirrel had more ups than downs. Ecspecialy when Susan brought her in. That was so nice of her. thank you Ann Martin for writing this book. I loved it.
