Raising Lumie | Joan Bauer

3 posts | 4 read

A poignant, hopeful story of a girl and her puppy. Olive Hudson desperately wants a dog. But that doesn't seem to be a possibility right now. Newly orphaned, she's moving in with the half sister she hardly knows and their life is too chaotic to include a dog. But then something wonderful happens: Olive gets a chance to raise Lumie, a guide dog puppy. Discipline. Rules. Lots of hugs. Only the best of the best puppies continue on to become guide dogs, and of course Olive wants Lumie to be chosen. But if she is, that means that Olive will lose her. Once again, the incomparable Joan Bauer tells a touching story that is full of heart and warmth and unabashed idealism.

I finished this a couple nights ago with my 10 yr old. He still enjoys being read to, and we‘re (my husband and I) happy to oblige (though I think it‘s more the prolonging of bedtime. But whatevs.) We chose this off the Mark Twain nominees, and it wasn‘t my favorite. It‘s cute, it has dogs, but not a lot of substance. I‘m glad it‘s over. Next we‘re reading a goosebumps, which I at least will enjoy more.

This was a great book and while there were sad parts overall it was it a good book especially because of the guide dog/service dog aspect which you don‘t really see in kids/Young adult books.
