​I just finished reading A Handful of Stars by Cynthia Lord. It. Was. Awesome. 

I was hooked from the first line: "The only reason I ever spoke to Salma Santiago was because my dog ate her lunch." A blind dog named Lucky pulls two girls into an unlikely friendship that will change the way they view others and themselves. In order to get Lucky the risky operation he needs to restore his sight, Lily and Salma join forces and vow to do whatever it takes...even if that means being braver than they have ever been before. 

I know they always say, "I laughed! I cried!". But to tell you the truth, I really did laugh and cry and I loved every minute of both!

Maxwell, the pup-brarian, gives it two paws up! He says that this book is perfect for readers who enjoy realistic fiction that favors stepping out on faith, finding friendship in unexpected places, and of course a little bit of furry, puppy awesomeness thrown right in!
