Maxi’s Secrets

Written by Lynn Plourde

First of all, I love dogs. I really liked the fact that the dog was not perfect. The boy, Timmy, and Maxi learn to help each other and others along the way. They learn that friendship can come from anywhere, in any shape, and in any form. Many disabilities are addressed in the book as well like being deaf and blind. I think everyone could benefit from this book.
