A "Game of Thrones"  Open in new Window. by Creeper Of The Realm Author Icon Review


Storyline:k Barney's dog Skip is missing. He hangs posters around town. His parents don't seem as concerned as the little boy does, but they do their best to appease him.

Spelling/Grammar Issues: No issues

Description/emotion: Barney is attached to his dog, and all he wants is to find him and bring him home. That connection was there. He painted a good picture of his life with his parents. His mom ensures she and Barney take their shoes off but lets his father skip that. She also has a strict rule that he's not allowed to be out after the street lights come on, which Barney does do his best with. The excitement when the phone rings and they learn there is a sighting of Skip had me hoping that the boy found his dog and it wasn't a wild goose chase. Good descriptions of the dog's state once found: Dirty, hungry, and happy to see his owner.

Overall Impression: This story is about a little boy and his beloved dog who is sweet. I enjoyed reading Barney's journey to finding Skip at the dump. A happy ending for Barney, and him knowing that his mother would insist on Skip getting a bath was a good way to end the story, tying it back to the beginning as Barney described his home life.
