Review: High stakes and big pay-off
Rating: 5 out of 5

Linda Benson writes with clarity and precision: by the time the story ends, I was completely immersed in her dystopian world.  Sahara is a character to fall in love with, and the theme that despite all odds, the human/animal bond will survive is salient in our real world threatened by so much.  Hope and joy mixed with fear and longing provide a heady mood.  My son, twelve, and I both read and loved this story.  It gave us something important to talk about, and for that, I owe Linda Benson this five star review.
