I’ve been so pleased by the warm reception to my new novel Sunshine. The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, for example, said of it: “Bauer offers an imaginative and emotionally compelling take on the story of a boy and his dog…. Ultimately a moving story of forgiveness and early maturity, it’s also a strong recommendation for adventure readers and dog lovers.”

Fourth-grade teacher Nick Rotenberry also has several kind things to say as he book-talks the novel here. For those of you thinking about using the title in your classroom, you’ll want to be sure to check out this Discussion Guide as well.
