BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Andy and his dog, Rocket, are inseparable until Rocket passes away just before Andy’s 14th birthday. Andy is devastated and can’t bear the thought of starting high school without Rocket. When he visits Rocket’s grave, he is transported over the Rainbow Bridge where pets discover their afterlife. Andy discovers that there is a dark side to the afterlife and that Rocket needs his help.
There isn’t a whole lot to the plot, but pet lovers everywhere will probably relate to Andy and his wish to see his beloved pet again. The art is engaging and bright and appropriately dark where needed, and no one can argue with the theme that no animal is a lost cause.
