Back with the first of three books to review from Sarah Lean. This first book is called ‘A Dog Called Homeless’ and from reviews I had seen before reading I would be needing tissues and then be smiling again soon, and so on.
When Cally Fisher says she sees her dead mother, no one believes her. The only other living soul who sees Cally’s mom is a mysterious wolfhound who always seems to be there when her mom appears. And when Cally stops talking—what’s the point if no one is listening?—how will she convince anyone that her mom is still with them or persuade her dad that the huge silver-gray dog is their last link with her?
A Dog Called Homeless is the gentle and touching story of how one girl’s friendship with a homeless dog can mend a family’s heart.
I really loved this book and even though there were a lot of tears, the writing and characters were beautiful. It’s such a beautiful story that you’ll want to read over and over again. I think this book is ideal for teenagers and adults also, don’t be fooled by the many pages the book has – the print is very spaced out. I’ll admit I was a bit surprised by how big the book was, even though once you’ve started reading it will be impossible to stop.
Really loved this and definitely an author to look out for. 4.5/5
