Book Reviews of The Year of the Dog

Book Review: A book loved by kids and adults!
Summary: 5 Stars

I feel this book gives different views of Pacy's life. She found a new friend who is almost like a twin for her, and that's cool because she's a unique girl. She's Asian-American, and she doesn't have a lot of friends at school like her. I connected to this book because I have a friend that's a lot like me too. I feel Pacy and I are so similar that if she were real, we'd be good friends.

I think the writing in the book is unique. I like the flashbacks that were part of the story. So far, I've only read half of the book, but I love it so much I can't wait to read more! I hope all of you book lovers choose a book like this. This one is my favorite!

-Written by "Shopaholic" as part of a project she worked on with her teacher for school

Summary of The Year of the Dog

It's the Chinese Year of the Dog, and as Pacy celebrates with her family, she finds out that this is the year she is supposed to "find herself." Universal themes of friendship, family, and finding one's passion in life make this novel appealing to readers of all backgrounds. This funny and profound book is a wonderful debut novel by a prolific picture book author and illustrator and has all the makings of a classic.
