A heart warming tale which explores Eric's relationship with his mum, dad and granny and ultimately himself.Eric is a kid entering the 6th grade that lives with his Mum and his granny. His Dad lives elsewhere, but comes to visit every now and again.His neighbour, Jake, is a vet that takes in sick animals.One day Eric disovers a sick dog (Sam) by the side of the road. It is not at all well. It is given to Jake to tend to while Eric comforts the dog. The dog eventually starts becoming better and Eric would love nothing more than to keep him even though he knows he will never be allowed to.What follows is a delightful tale in which Eric discovers more about himself than he ever realised he could. Does he have magic in him, is he destined for greater things or are there other explanations for the 'going ons' at the house? This is a great tale of self discovery with a few warm fuzzy moments material that is perfect for kids in elementary school.Thoroughly enjoyable read.
