He Could not rely on family and friends Because They all abandoned him in times did he really needed them. A tattered stuffed dog what the onlyfriend That stayed with him through it all and the only thing he Could count on in his lost childhood. This is the best book I have ever read. I could not put it down. When it was time to go to sleep, I would get a flashlight and sit in the dark for hours and read this book. I have never read a sadder story. The factthat this all happened to the author makes me realize just how lucky I actually am to have family, friends, home, and money. I really felt sorry for Jennings. He was a boy about my age who does not have all that I have. The story based on what sadness, love, survival, family, and friends. I would recommend this to anyone of any age who likes a powerful, sad story or who wants to be moved and touched. My Entire family has Either read it or wants to read it. Everyone I Know That read it has felt the same way I did do about it.
