It is a thought-provoking addition for school and public library collections.” - VOYA “This unusual and emotional story will intrigue animal lovers and those looking for a gripping family drama. Rorby successfully gets to the core of a moving animal-human relationship.”- KLIATT, starred review 4Q, 3P, M, J “This has the potential to be a classic animal story with wide appeal. Finch’s story is Higher Power of Lucky meets Shiloh.”- Tim Capehart, children’s librarian and head of youth services at Dayton Metro Library, author of S hadowangel and Summer Stranger than Fiction, and two-time Newbery Medal selection committee member Finch discovers, in her struggle to find the support she needs after her loving mother dies, that forcing the connections we think we need can make us miss the special ones we already have. “No matter their gender identity, young readers will identify with Finch’s struggle to find the relationships she needs to heal her grief and to be who she knows she is in a sometimes scary world. “Note to readers: get tissues ready-there couldn’t have been more tears!”- Booklist Reader
