I enjoyed this book from beginning to end.  It had some lovely characters who each had something to learn in this story.  A young girl has a lesson in faith, a young boy has a lesson about how being wealthy doesn't make you a better person than a poor person.  A man has to pull his sorry self together in order to help the children who have been separated from their parents during a ship wreck they are on.  There are corrupt police, horrid orphanage staff, a bully on the streets, and amongst them all is the family dog Sophie.  It was a unique feature of the book to have the dogs point of view portrayed too, very novel, and very sweet.  I laughed in places, I cried in others, and I also wanted to jump into the story to punch the horrid people the children had to deal with.  I was engrossed totally in the story and definitely recommend it.  It would be a perfect story to read to your children this Christmas, but is equally enjoyable for adults like myself.
