The Year of the Dog

by Grace Lin
Scott County Library, audioCDs, 3 hours
read by Nancy Wu

The reader was fantastic, but the story was hard for me to enjoy. I'm not sure if it's because the target audience is so much younger than the kids I work with, or if it's just a slow story . . . Anyhow, I read it because I had bought a bunch of them at the Scholastic Warehouse sale last year for lit circles. Ugh. Guess I didn't look at it carefully enough. There are some sixth grade girls this might appeal to, especially with the friend element. But this is a really slow story.
