The One and Only Bob by Katherine Applegate
5.0
“Maybe it’s easier to forgive others once you’ve learned how to forgive yourself.”
The One and Only Bob was the Dart selection for August and what a way to start the school year! I was nervous because it’s a little long for us, so we started reading it the last week of July — but it looks like we would have had plenty of time to read it in August! This is the second book in the series, but it didn’t feel like we’d missed too much by starting here.
This book was full of opportunities for juicy discussions. Our main character, Bob, is a rescued chihuahua mix with a troubled past. He is riddled with guilt and anxiety over his past decisions, but we are right by his side while he finds redemption and a renewed understanding of bravery.
