Good Dog McTavish by Meg Rosoff
5.0
Edit: 2018, I totally forgot to post my full review for this one. Oopsie. I may be re-reading it soon.
This was a cute book, about a dog and his plan to save this family that is falling apart. Yep, falling
apart, without the help of the mom no one can do anything. It was quite fun to see what the dog's plans were and how hard he worked to get everything right again. Betty was definitely my favourite character, I loved how wise she was. The book also had gorgeous illustrations. I wish there were more of them. :)
Though I did think it was a bit weird that a girl, 8 (but almost 9, as gets repeated MANY MANY TIMES), and a her dog have to do everything for her family. The dad was pretty useless, and I also couldn't sympathise with the mom and her decisions. I get that you want to do something else for a while, but then maybe you shouldn't have gotten married/gotten kids. :|
