review 1: If I we ran actual middle schooler and not a middle school teacher, I probably would have given this more stars. The story is heartwarming and cute. I May have even reared up a few times, but there were some small things with the with the writing that I couldn't get past. There were too many explanations about cultural references. I didn't need the referencess, and maybe if the writer thought the readers would, the references should have been left out. It's a minor thing, but it really disrupted the flow of my reading.
review 2: I thought that this book is one of those book where the reader has to put themselves into the main characters shoes in order to really get into the book. But for me I thought this book was really good. In the beginning I like how the Ma... morein character Grace is still getting use to the talking dog her and her sister Regan just got. I mean Grace's dad had just died and now getting a talking dog that only she can hear. That is a big step for someone to take but it's funny at the same time. Later in the book you meet Grace's number one suspect and enemy..JJ Pico. JJ was in the car when Graces dad died. JJ also had help from Graces dad. So Grace has to go to a Canine Connection's center so she can train Rex. That's were she meets JJ. Apparently her dad had placed JJ in the program. After a class JJ and Grace are the only ones still waiting for rides. But when Grace ask JJ what happened the day that her dad died she gets hit by a car. JJ kept screaming at the car" No Stop it! Stop it!" It turns out the car that hit Grace was JJ's ride. Just when JJ is about to leave he tells Grace to meet him at the Jupiter Peer at 8:00. At Jupiter Peer JJ tells Grace what really happened. Now the rest of the book after that was just boring. I mean all Grace did was tell JJ to go and confesse to thee police. What really made me mad was JJ and Grace didn't get together ever again!!! less
