This one’s a little complicated for me. There’s parts of this book I loved. And then there’s parts that really didn’t make me feel good. It took me a long time to get through this book- teens tackle some heavy stuff in their books, huh? 

Cool illustrations. Love a talking dog companion. WAY too big a concept to try to execute in a 200 page graphic novel.
