This book packs a lot of punch into a small package, which I love. Too many middle grade books are hitting the 300+ page mark and that can be overwhelming for many of our younger middle grade readers. This was a perfect length.
Ben is going to spend a week with his mother who left him and his dad when he was 3. He thinks that maybe if she sees him maybe she'll come back. The island and his mom are not what he was expecting at all. While there he discovers the truth about why she left and develops insight into Sunshine - his imaginary dog.
This one is solid and will find a good audience - meaty without being overwhelming.
