The story of one dog’s attempt to save his family, become a star, and eat a lot of bacon. Cosmo’s family is falling apart. And it’s up to Cosmo to keep them together. He knows exactly what to do. There’s only one problem. Cosmo is a Golden Retriever. Wise, funny, and filled with warmth and heart, this is Charlotte’s Web meets Little Miss Sunshine: a moving, beautiful story, with a wonderfully unique hero, from an incredible new voice in middle grade fiction – perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead and Kate DiCamillo. This gem has all the warmth and joy of Homeward Bound, and is making me want to get a golden retriever immediately.
– Catherine Doyle, author of The Storm Keeper’s Island Cosmo’s narration combines wit, heart, stubbornness, and a grouchy dignity, all ably tugging at funny bones and heartstrings alike.
– Kirkus (starred review) I adored this, a genuine feel-good delight with the most lovable animal narrator I’ve read in ages.
– Fiona Noble, The Bookseller Like any good dog, Cosmo is so funny, friendly, and loyal that he quickly became a dear friend, so much so that when I finished reading the book, I missed hearing his voice and picturing his shaggy face. Come back, Cosmo! – Jim Gorant, author of the New York Times bestseller The Lost Dogs
