11yo Alex may be autistic, but wants friends just like everyone else. He decides to enter his dog Kevin in the PAWS Dog Show so that they can win a trophy and impress everyone - and maybe make himself a friend. 

I loved this book. I read it in one sitting. Alex's voice is clear, concise and consistent. I felt like I really got to know Alex, and to understand his thinking. Alex is white Australian.
