Kitty Sutton asked me to read and review "Wheezer and the Painted Frog" and I gladly accepted her request. This book has been out for a while and I have been wanting to read it but just haven't taken the time to do it. I'm sorry I didn't read the book sooner. What a captivating tale!My reaction to "Wheezer and the Painted Frog" was two-fold. First,the story had my interest from the very first page. Ms Sutton is a wonderful story teller who crafted an enchanting mystery with bits of history mixed in. Her characters are well developed with a mix of people you either love or hate. I am partial to dogs, so having Wheezer as one of the heroes made the story complete.Secondly, I am familiar with the Trail of Tears and the terrible treatment of the native Americans by the white man. Reading about Wheezer, Sasa and Jackson's quest to fight the wrong doings and get to the truth of why Sasa's little brother was murdered helps me to remember that there are good people in this world who believe in what's right and do whatever they can to overcome the odds against them.I highly recommend this book to everyone, young and old.
