Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-18 00:00:00 Sandra Haywood This book was heartbreaking and endearing. I will never forget this story. While at times the writing seemed less than skillful, the story never faltered. The author made me care and worry about a character whom no one else loved. I couldn't put it down until I found out what happened to Dustin Groat and his frog. Although there were harsh elements of abuse and neglect, they were only shown in glimpses that were brief yet encompassing. I bumped my rating down by one star because the writing wasn't up to par. For instance, better word choices would have helped and the dialogue often seemed very unrealistic and awkward. But altogether, this was a wonderful little story.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-14 00:00:00 Richard Steed I loved this book. It was a wonderful story with a beautiful message of tolerance that every young adult should read. I'm not a young adult but I'm very happy to have read it and been touched by it.
