In this sequel to the award-winning Dear Mr Henshaw, Leigh Botts confronts his own bad attitude and gains confidence and better awareness about his relationships, especially with his separated parents. He also learns how to identify his true talents and thereby to become clearer about his future ... and all this principally because he found an abandoned dog on a beach. Slightly humorous, a bit romantic and gently wise, this should find a readership amongst thinking boys.
