Great for dog lovers! Nick is in 6th grade and loves dogs. He finds them much easier to understand than the people around him. He wants a friend and is sure that he will make one by running fast, winning a video game, or by winning a trophy. In the end, friendships develop on their own.
There is a lot of focus on being neurodivergent (autistic) and describing how the world feels to those with sensory needs. It is a very sweet story and the adults in the book are kind and understanding.Reviewed by Megan Buhler, Media Clerk, Calvin Smith Elementary
