Lassie Come Home by Eric Knight

By Benjamin W-A

Lassie Come Home is the most wonderful book I have read so far.  I rate this book a 5. It is a book full of adventures.  I hope you like the review I wrote review and the book that I am “Advertising!”

The main character is dog, Lassie, from a very poor family and a very poor town in a county called Yorkshire that “has hills flowing with dogs.”  Every day Lassie would go to the school gate and wait for Joe the one kid in the family.  One day Lassie is not at the gate and Joe goes home and his parents tell him that they sold Lassie for 15 pounds (the money in Great Britain).  Lassie is very important to the town because she is like a clock when she goes to school.  She is the most beautiful dog in all of the county of Yorkshire which has “hills flowing with dogs”.   The Duke of Rudling tried to buy her, but Sam the owner of Lassie didn’t  sell her.  One day which happened to be this day  (that I’m telling you about) he sold her because he did not have a job and without a job then he could not feed his family nor his dog Lassie!

        So this book is about that and how she comes home but will she see them and will she make any friends or get hurt or will they take her?   if you read the book Lassie Come Home you will see what happens!  I rate this book a 5.  See you next time!
