The best book ever

Review by lbs

This book was awesome! I was on an airplane and forgot all my technology at my house so l read this book. I can also definitely relate to this book because I really want a pet too. At the end of the book, it was definitely a tear jerker so for anyone who does not like to cry because of books, I don't recommend it. It has a lot of good laughs too!

Review by kittyfan514

It was really good. There were many entertaining parts and it was adorable! It was a little boring at some parts but if you get through those there is sure to be a twist down the corner. I recommend this book to everyone but probably a 3rd grade reading level.
