This touching story is about Lola and her guide dog, Star. Lola was very sad and afraid to do things out in public since she lost her eyesight 5 years ago in a car crash.

As I began to read this book, I thought everything that was being described was about the dog until the last few pages of the story explained who the story was really about about and what had happened.

This book is about a girl Lola, and a dog who became best friends and ultimately saved one another. Lola saved her from a not so good life when she was younger, and it took her a little time to come around and not be so scared of every little thing. They became best friends and went everywhere together. I liked how this book was a little different than most books, the dog is the one telling the story about Lola and herself. One day, Lola tragically lost her eyesight in a car accident and now the dog had to go to training to become a service dog for Lola. This is when we learn the dogs name, “star”. I really liked this book and plan to read it to my future students.… (altro)
