5.0 out of 5 stars
enjoyable -- reminds me of Heinlein's kid stuff,
By
This review is from: Star Dog (Paperback)
This is a pleasant little book that reminds me rather of Heinlein's young adult books. Fun, fascinating and memorable characters, teens dealing with real life problems, and science fictional ones. I read it as a youngster, and again a year or so ago. Quite a fun read, about a boy and his dog -- a dog that just happens to have special mind-reading powers.My library listed it in the children's book section, although it was probably really meant for teens, as the plot's premise takes awhile to set up. (Maybe not; I guess kids' books can be about teens.) Yes, you will see some campy stuff like the circus guy who wants to steal the dog, flying saucers, etc, but it's done enjoyably. Anyway, if you enjoy 60's era science fiction with the young adult, youthful-enthusiasm feel, along with a fun and interesting premise and a decent follow-through, you'll enjoy this. _I_ consider it as classic as Heinlein's "Star Beast," "Have Space Suit, Will Travel," and "Red Planet." See for yourself!

Great Intro to Sci Fi for Kids or Teens,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Star Dog (Paperback)
I read this as a teen and loved it. I hope that whoever owns the copyright for A. M. Lightner's writing will release this as an ebook. In the meantime, I'm planning to hunt down a used copy so I can share it with my kids.
