Praise for One Dog and His Boy

"The late, great Eva Ibbotson's last novel does not disappoint.
This perfectly pitched book is a eulogy to dogs. Only someone
with a profound understanding and love for dogs could have written
this moving book about the importance of love and friendship
and the power of people and animals to provide it." BookTrust

"Readers who have grown to love Ibbotson's bighearted heroes
and larger-than-life adventure stories will relish this final
novel, published after her death in 2010." Publisher's
Weekly

"Eva Ibbotson's final book is in essence a familiar story
- a lonely boy desperate for a pet and a dog desperate to be loved,
but this wonderful poignant story is also a critique of consumerism
and a call for family values" Love Reading 4 Kids
