I knew that this book was going to be wonderful as soon as I opened it and saw #adoptdontshop. Jane Elson has written a marvellous story for children aged 9 to 11 which carries a multitude of themes and rescue animals lies at the heart of the matter. Marcus, abandoned by his mother, his father suffering from serious depression as a result of the breakup, is being brought up by his grandmother. Lonely, with no friends at school, until Delilah arrives and the two dog crazy children make friends. Any child would become involved in this story, the mystery aspects are brilliant, leading the reader through exciting situations. I love the way that Jane Elson has dealt with all the complex emotions which children have to deal with at young ages and how she brings in really important messages about caring for fellow creatures whether they have four legs or two. This book is a modern classic perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo. Very, very highly recommended
