A 2018-2019 Missouri Mark Twain Readers Award preliminary nominee (grades 4-6). A bittersweet realistic fiction novel about the deep friendship that blossoms between Ben, a former foster kid, and Halley, the librarian's daughter who has cancer, and the dog Flip that followed Ben home. This was really hard to get into for me. I think I read the first chapter 3 times, and I listened to it once. But once I got into it I really enjoyed it, and it had a good message about love and loss and friendship.
