Ratings and reviews

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.

I've always loved it every year in school once or twice a year I do a book report on it and it's just gets you captured in the story I loved cats and dogs this story sure it may be fiction but still this type of thing happens every day I'm glad people care about our trusted friends and pets

Amazing story.I love how the story always has a twist every few chapters.If you dislike it there's something wrong with you.Your money's worth it.
