Listen

          I read the novel Listen. It was about a girl recovering from an accident who finds a wild dog in the woods. It is written by Stephanie S. Tolan. I chose this book because it sounded good.

The book is about about a girl, Charlean, whose mother is dead and so she lives with her father who  makes her walk all the time. She later finds a mysterious wild dog in the woods and names him Coyote. Charley wants to tame him but he is a wild dog so she has to work hard.

There are two things I like about the book.  The first is I like books with animals so I like Coyote. Another is I like how Charlean doesn't give up training Coyote. There are two things I don't like.  One is I don't like that her mother is dead. Another is I don't like that her father is mean.  I would recommend this book to a friend. People who are 12 and up will like this book. People who like animals will like this book.
