My review:
Jeremy is just 12 years old as he narrates this story. He acts well beyond his years as he tried his best to help his widowed mother pay her debts. What he does in order to get money is truly heartwarming.
He and his best dog friend, Leon, have an adorable bond as they trek around town together. I haven’t been to Paris, but I felt the author did a nice job of depicting what it’s like. I am not sure when he ever had time to do his schoolwork though as he seemed to always be on the go.
There was a bit of extra information and repetitiveness that made this slow moving at times, but the tone of the story comes across as if he really was 12 years old. Overall, a heartwarming tale that also has some heartbreak.

I’ll have to check this one out. Is the content acceptable for students in middle grade? Wondering if it would work well as a read aloud.
Well I think Amazon has it tagged as teens, but the ending is very sad and might not be suitable. I don’t want to give spoilers here, but email me if you want to know what happens.
