Content: G.
Nickel and Flora are
a brother and sister that get lost in a snow storm, but they are found and
taken to a remote cabin by Teddy. Teddy
is a sweet Irish wolfhound who has recently lost his beloved owner who was a
poet. Teddy’s poet owner always explained
to Teddy that true poets would be able to hear Teddy talk and Nickel and Flora
are able to here Teddy. The ragtag group
wait out the storm and hope to be able to stay together once they are rescued.
This is a sweet story with a great setting and
characters that are quickly made endearing.
I’m not even a dog lover and I loved Teddy. The story is simple and easy to read and
heartwarming. The only part that is kind of upsetting is that Teddy's owner gets sick and passes away which is sad but not graphic at all.
