Review by Captain Robert Cameron, author of Tuckey the Whale children's book series
“This is a lovely Nantucket story about a pet dog “Brandy” who loves her Nana. They do so many super fun things together. But unfortunately, Nana’s health condition gets worse and she is not able to take care of Brandy. So, Brandy goes to a new place where there is new excitement and fun. Lots of dogs, cats, even a bunny and some very nice people too! This is where all the new fun begins for Brandy. The illustrations are excellent and enhance this well-written story. All lovers of pets are going to very much enjoy reading this children’s book by Christina Oates.”
