Editorial Reviews
“When 12-year-old Lily’s blind dog, Lucky, slips his leash and runs away across the blueberry barrens of Maine, a young migrant worker named Salma saves him from running into the road with her well-timed gift of a sandwich…a quiet, gentle story of friendship…the girls’ friendship is appealing, and Lucky—well, Lucky steals the show.” —Booklist
“Lily’s likable voice believably discloses her maturing awareness of the limitations she’s built around herself while also offering an accurate and appreciative depiction of a unique setting: the blueberry barrens of down east Maine. This sensitive coming-of-age tale compassionately explores prejudice and multiculturalism.” —Kirkus Reviews
