Saving Winslow Review

Image
  Another emotional Sharon Creech book! Saving Winslow is about Louie, who takes care of a sickly young donkey whom he names Winslow. He got the donkey from Uncle Pete, a family friend who lives on a farm. Everybody in Louie's social circle thinks Winslow won't survive, but with the right tools and care, Louie proves them wrong.  But taking care of a donkey isn't always easy! Luckily, Louie has a new friend name Nora who helps him out the most.  It is such a short book, but from page 1, it grabbed me with its themes! If you're in the mood for an emotional story of a kid and their pet with a happy ending, check this out! I gave it 4 stars , but that's just because some of the thematic matter might be heavy for some readers. But like all of Sharon Creech's books, they're written really well.
