Notes From the Dog by Gary Paulsen

Notes From the Dog by Gary Paulsen is a great book to read. At first I thought the book was about a dog that is true to a point but the meat of the story. School is out for the summer. Finn is home deciding how many people he will talk to over the summer break. He already went to the library for a selection of books to read over the summer. Matthew a friend is staying with Finn. They get a neighbor her name is Johanna. Johanna gets Finn creating a garden in his back yard.  Finn and Matthew get coaxed into helping Johanna raise money for a charity. Throughout the story Johanna weaves friends together to create family.

This is my second book I read written by Gary Paulsen. As with Lawn Boy I really enjoyed this story.  This would be a good book for students who like to read less then 150 pages. Also Lawn Boy has less than 90 pages for those students who don't like to read 100 pages both books are a good read.  But read this story because the dog, Dylan, does bring notes to Finn but who is writing the notes?
