Review

I've just finished! It's brilliant; it kept me gripped from page 6 onwards. A great story and many good lessons to be learned. RONNIE FLITTON An easy read that will no doubt captivate children as much as it did me. A really good book that you just don't want to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed it. When is the next one? SHERAL WILSON, BEDFORDSHIRE Easy progressive read through each chapter Simple storyline yet informative insight into dog racing A very endearing story TRACY BONNER, SILSOE I felt the story was clearly laid out and you instantly knew the characters and the roles they played within the story, with new characters which joined later. At the start in each chapter it covered the different characters which later came together with Jock and Rory and their dogs Red and Sheila. It was interesting to read about Rory's boy 'Red' and the journey he followed to get to the competition and eventually win a big race! The only bit i thought was a little confusing was the two characters in the pub and how they planned to steal a certain type of dog, I'm not sure how they fitted into the story? I found the book a good read and kept me interested which would be great for the kids. SUSAN SETHI, HORNCHURCH I read this book in one session, it's a well balanced and easy read. I'm not sure who the main character is, is it "Red" or his owner?, both of them appear after a few chapters and their life together and experiences form the basis of the storyline. I'm sure many people will identify with the life of a young boy and his pet dog but not many could know the feeling of what this friendship would achieve. For many young adults the morals of the story are a good learning experience with winning and friendship benefiting a worthy charity. An enjoyable easy read which held my attention until the final sentence. NEIL BOULTON, SOUTHPORT
