A Boy And His Dog, Not Quite...A Dog With His Boy
Journey to Glory
At first glance I thought this would be a book about Ethan Meyer and his journey to the Civil War. However, most of the book is from the perspective of Sam, a dog with clever observations, who accompanied Ethan in his "human warfare [is] madness."
This is excellent for any teen or preteen (8 years and older.) It is real to life without being gory or off putting.
Haley Whitehall and John Lowe are a perfect writer and performance duo. Well done!
