Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship

by Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes

illustrated by Scott Magoon

Hennepin County Library hardcover unpaged

Published: 2018

Genre: Children's realistic fiction


The authors were injured in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. This story is based somewhat on their experiences as amputees and connecting with a service dog.


I love that Rescue's POV is included. I love the bond between main character Jessica and Rescue. What a lovely book about overcoming adversity and being supportive!
