The Hero Pup by Megan Rix - review

Megan Rix, The Hero Pup

Meet Joe, he was a happy, normal kid, until his dad died. It's coming up to Christmas, and he doesn't know if he can make it without dad.

Mum is always there for Joe, but always practical. She is sensible and is mourning over her husband's death, alongside Joe. Patch is the highlight of their lives. He is a helper pup, and Joe and mum are training him up. He's a perky little fellow, and always does his best.

Lenny (in charge of the helper pups) and Charlie (one of Joe's classmates) are really encouraging towards Patch's future, and do their best to contribute to Patch's training. Patch, hopefully after Christmas, will be going to help a wounded soldier called Sam. Join Patch and the gang to discover more!

This is a one of a kind of book, the kind that's so stunning you literally can't put it down! I had immense fun reading this, and you will too! 86/100 score! Read this book in time for Christmas! Read it now! Hip hip, hooray!!! What will become of Patch and Joe?
