"A swift moving plot and language designed for a 2.1 reading level make this a quick, easy, and engrossing read. Josh comes to life as a complex character, struggling with his past hardships, present conflicts and uncertain future...Recommended." (CM Magazine 20051101)

"What a fabulous book!...If you bring one book to one boy this year, this would be an excellent choice! (Girls and adults will like it too!)" (Resource Links )

"Action and character development are nicely balanced in this well-paced novel about a kid in trouble who is still worth saving." (Hip Librarian's Book Blog )

This review is from: Snitch (Orca Soundings) (Paperback)

Another fine book by Orca Publishers. Josh lives with his older brother, domineering sister-in-law, and infant nephew. He's participating in a group dog-handling course at the animal shelter, the best option he's given after being turned in by a friend for a crime. But things just never seem to go right for Josh. He gets in trouble with another teen at the dog program, his sister-in-law accuses him of theft, and he is questioned for a violent assault. A true voice for teens.
