Reviews
“An easy read with believable characters, the story has enough action to keep reluctant readers interested…. Young dog lovers will especially enjoy Collard’s detailed accounts of the two competitions in which these rivals and their pooches participate.” ―School Library Journal
“[An] affecting first novel about a sensitive yet resilient eighth grader struggling to find his place in his new world.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Guy is an appealing, sympathetic protagonist, whose straightforward narrative describes the challenges of uprooting, making friends, and facing difficult people and life events.” ―Booklist

“A veteran nonfiction writer, Collard shows in his first novel that he can construct a suspenseful plot and create believable characters.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“This would be a great story to read aloud to a fifth grade or middle school class. There are many issues that can be discussed including bullying, friendship, mental illness, divorce, cruelty to animals, and moral values. It’s also an easy book to connect to as Guy’s personality is well created and one that cries out for understanding.” ―Examiner
