Recensione:
“A thought–provoking story.” (School Library Joumal)
“Bunting’s straightforward story about a boy living in Oregon who learns to accept the loss of loved ones, including his dog, is heartwarming despite some heavy touches. [T]he tender moments between mother and son, coupled with equally gentle interactions between William and [his dog] Riley carry the story.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Middle–graders will relish the bittersweet but satisfying resolution and the picture of a boy standing up to uncaring adults, bullies, and the system.” (ALA Booklist)
