    Book2Dragon: These writers both have a deep love for Nature and its creatures, but do not sentimentalize either one. Both have respect for each and give a true and inviting story to all their works.

I read this to my 9-year-old daughter over the course of a week or two. I don't think I read it as a child myself, but it's in the same vein as many other famous dog stories and/or a kid getting by in the wilderness on their own. No surprises, but what we expected from the story is what we were looking for so we both enjoyed it. ( )

I enjoyed this book. It's a lovely dog story.










I did some how get a nightmare about it. It's not the sort of book I would associate with nightmares. ( )

There were a whole series of Kjelgaard paperback novels at my library -- probably purchased to appeal to boy readers -- but I read through them along with the "Lad: A Dog" series and the Black Stallion books. I remember the copy I had had a red border around the edge. And I also remember being astonished at the fact that a boy could live in a cabin all by himself with a dog while his father was in jail.

I have only started reading this book, I'm in the second chapter and I don't know if I like it or not. I chose this book because my school is doing an 18 book reading challenge with at least 150 pages per book. This book happened to have exactly 150 pages.

Overall I'm not crazy about this book but I don't hate it. I am only in the beginning of the second chapter so I haven't read that much. I love to read books that get right to the point. For example, the book Divergent is an awesome book! It jumps right into the story and leaves you on cliff hangers. I could never put it down, it was like the book was glued to my hands.

I recommend Divergent to anyone! I have yet to read Stormy but based on the other reviews it's a pretty good read.

Reread recently, was somewhat disappointed. Not as good as I had remembered. ( )
