A young boy living in London wants a dog so badly, but there's no space for one in the city. It becomes an obsession for him, one that leads to a scary-but-ultimately-okay accident, and then finally he gets his wish, although it doesn't turn out exactly as he had daydreamed it would. I've really enjoyed all the other Pearce books I've read, but I struggled to finish this one, and at one point Ben (the boy) makes a decision so irritating (to me, at least) that I very nearly did give up on it. The characters are unlikeable (all but the grandfather, who's a delight), and Ben's pouting and obsessing over a dog quickly became tedious. So I was disappointed in this one, I'm afraid. Ben wants a dog. Sadly, Ben can’t have a dog. Ben and his family live in London and London is no place for dogs. Then Ben’s grandpa promises to get him a dog for his birthday. You will never read a more realistic book about wanting, not getting, wanting some more, getting, not wanting, and, then, finally, wanting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
