Simply NO ONE is doing it like MT Anderson!! All of his books are so different from each other in terms of content/genre and yet they are all so good. Fuck. What the fuck. How is he doing it. This book is a fun fantasy and a painful but moving look back at early COVID quarantine days. It's a coming of age story. The dog doesn't die. The dog's narration is incredible. The illustrations by Junyi Wu are incredible. I think it would be a great classroom or bedtime readaloud. I think adults should read it. I think dogs should read it. I think dogs should be allowed to vote. I think MT Anderson should write a book about a magical cat next but it's probably going to be like, an instruction manual for mining equipment written in verse, and I'll fucking read that too.
