Sometimes I have difficulty deciding on a rating, but there was never a doubt in my mind that this book deserved every one of its five stars. I'm about 10 years older than Phoenix and I definitely remember being stopped from doing things because I was a girl so I can certainly identify with Phoenix's troubles in that area. I loved every one of the animal stories but I must confess to a special feeling for Jess, the large golden retriever because he reminded me of my dog, Kelly. The writing and editing of this book were really great and the imagery was simply fantastic. I live just northeast of Dallas and my daughter is a senior at Texas A&M, and Phoenix wasn't exaggerating about how hot it gets in Texas in August! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel. If you love animals and like reading about them, then this book is absolutely a must-read.
