The author of this book Spencer Quinn is the writer of many books including Arf, Bow wow and The right side. The pages that i have chosen to read today are the pages 97 and 98 ……….

For example on page 64 its says “ We walked away, me dragging the leash, which Birdie seemed to forgotten about. I, myself, had forgotten what the leash was actually was for, if i’d ever known in the first place.” Also on page 111 it quotes “ Have i already mentioned that i’d have never swum in my life and didn't know that i
