The book's theme was very interesting and the plot and stryline was quite good. However, the author, henrietta branford, doesn't do a very good job on keeping the story alive and exciting. (

Who would have thought that a children's book about a dog living in England in 1381 would have such a realistic feel? The dog experiences losing her master and mistress, captured and imprisoned by men who don't like the peasants revolting. The dog experiences losing her puppies. The dog experiences the difficulties of trying to find food in lean times. An unexpectedly stark look at life during these times. So stark that I would caution parents of sensitive children. (
