A Parents Best Children’s Book of 2019 A warm, uplifting story about a boy, his dog, and the healing power of music marks a first-time collaboration between two former Irish Children’s Laureates, Eoin Colfer and P.J. Lynch. Patrick has been desperate for a dog of his own for as long as he can remember, and this summer, with his father away, he longs for a canine friend more than ever. Meanwhile, in his short doggy life, Oz has suffered at the hands of bad people. Somewhere out there, he believes, is an awesome boy — his boy. And maybe, when they find each other, Oz will learn to bark again. Illustrated in light charcoal by two-time Kate Greenaway Medalist P.J. Lynch, this heartwarming story by Eoin Colfer, internationally best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series, is certain to enchant.

I like this book. Eoin Colfer is an excellent writer, and this book is no expection. However, I am afraid some of the themes are too mature for the kids who may be interested in reading it.
Montgomery County Public Libraries currently has this listed as an Easy Reader, best for kids around 2nd grade. There is animal abuse and serious discussion of divorce in this book.
