He wants a dog more than anything. His brother, Beau, wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. When Beau suddenly dies, Danny and his family changes forever. Then, when Danny gets a dog, he is convinced that Beau is inside him and tries to prove that to his parents. He names him rocket and goes on many adventures with him. That`s it for the plot. This book I would probably give a three out of five. I loved the plot, but the chapters were extremely short. The setting took place in 1964 and 1965 and they pointed out notable events in history. The vocabulary and the way people talked fit in the time the plot took place in. The names fit in the plot as well. The plot was well planed and organized. The dialogue was mild as well. What is it about stories of boys and their dogs? They get me every time! This story is about a boy who is feeling lost after the death of his older brother. We have a chance to meet the older brother, an "All-American" teenage obsessed with space during the 1960's, and we feel the boy's grief keenly. Then comes a stray dog who seems to channel the departed brother's soul comes along, and the boy pours all of his love into him. But, when "Rocket" gets into some trouble, the boy goes to extremes to save him. Tear-jerker alert! A historical fiction novel good for grades 5+ Danny and Beau Rivers are brothers growing up in the 1960s. Danny wants a dog, and Beau wants to be an astronaut like Gus Grissom. A tragic accident changes Danny's life forever, and subsequent events are difficult for Danny's parents to believe. It is up to Danny, who never questions that his brother Beau is back, to find a way to keep Rocket alive. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I liked this story because of the adventure. My favorite part was when the dog bit the bully. It could have been better, I dont know why but maybe it was because the dogs name was Rocket. I hate how the boy was stupid enough to run away, but loyal enough to stay with his dog. I liked Rocket even thought I dislike his name. It was a very good book and I advise you read it too!
