Audrey and I finished reading Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner last night. It was an exciting book.
All up till the finish line. Audrey and I were in shock when after all that had happened, Searchlight's heart burst 100 yards from the finish. Geez - this is an 8 year old I'm reading to, and she understands death quite well, but geez!
We enjoyed the book and the message it had, but I sure wish Searchlight would have surived.
