My husband and I listened to this book in the hot tub and we both loved it. Got to where when as soon as we got home from work, we were in the hot tub!
What a wonderful book...until Edgar's father is killed. Wish I had never read the book. The ending is quite disturbing or so I thought.
This debut novel is the engrossing story of a mute boy, his family and the special breed of dogs they raise. After a fatal accident on their northern plains farm, Edgar and three of his dogs try to make their way to Canada. Taking no supplies, they must live off the land until an eccentric farmer takes them in.There's a Huckleberry Finn feel to this boy and his odyssey. The writing is compelling. I read rapidly, and I couldn't put this book down for the several days it took me to read it. I hope Edgar Wrobleski has another novel this good in his repetoire
