Hero by Sarah Lean

Purchased as an impulse buy, and was excellent value for money.

This is the first book that I have read by this author, and thoroughly enjoyed it, sold as a "Kids" novel.

It tells the story of a young boy called Leo Biggs, and a dog called "Jack Pepper"

The story is so very well written that younger readers will be inspired by their adventures and the older readers will be reminded of life in their past. The story covers family life, peer pressure, expectations, honesty, pride and so much more.

Sarah's style in this book keeps the reader interested and eager to read on to the end, though allowing time for the reader to capture thoughts from their own days gone by or times ahead, dependant on their own age. The book covers so many aspects of a boy at an influential age, learning right from wrong.

Those of us that have dogs, in our life or around us will see how well Sarah writes, those that do not have a canine friend, would love one like "Jack Pepper"

My companion and hero as I write this review is a soon to be 6 year old German Shepherd called "Blue"

My Hero "Blue"

This book works on so many levels, I feel the need to search out more from this author.

Rating as a book 10/10 as a story 10/10
