Editorial Reviews
Review
"Bob proves to everyone
(and finally himself) that there is a big heart in that tiny chest…and a brave
one too. Applegate picks up where her Newbery Medal winner left off, and fans
will be overjoyed to ride along in the head of lovable, self-deprecating Bob on
his storm-tossed adventure. His wry doggy observations and attitude are pitch
perfect." (Kirkus Reviews (starred
review))
"Ricocheting between
entertainment and poignancy, the dog’s musings on his past and present give way
to an urgent chronicle of survival. Applegate deepens the suspense (while,
ingeniously, amplifying the humor) with the appearance of Bob’s long-lost
sister. The novel’s fluid meshing of loyalty, forgiveness, and trust will leave
readers hoping that the author has more one-and-only stories to tell."
(Publishers Weekly (starred review))
"In this story of true
friendship, hope, and courage, Bob learns to appreciate and cherish those he
loves. Driven by favorite characters from The One and Only Ivan, Bob’s story is
delightfully heartfelt and adventurous. Castelao’s illustrations add additional
beauty to the story. Readers will be lining up to read this sequel." (School
Library Journal (starred review))
"Bob supplies a sharp,
lively voice that young readers will enjoy. Fans of the first book will love
catching up with cherished friends, and newcomers, too, will enjoy this
heartfelt story of survival." (Booklist)
"Much like Bob himself,
this book has an appealing mix of frenetic energy and somber contemplation.
Commentary on animal welfare and climate change is carefully woven into the
narrative, giving readers food for thought but never overwhelming what is ultimately
a tale of friendship and forgiveness." (Bulletin of the Center for
Children’s Books)
