THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT VERSION If you don't have a sense of humor, read no further. Move along. Nothing to see here. This book is definitely not for you. Now that the weirdos are gone, the rest of you are in for the time of your life. Better yet, Dylan Malone's life, and it's one exciting journey. Don't make the mistake of just thinking this is some sentimental story about a boy and his dog. The title is a bit misleading. This book has it all-- action, adventure, deception, divorce, crushes, being crushed, orange crush (just kidding), lost souls, redemption- you name it! You may be saying to yourself, "That doesn't sound very funny." Oh, how wrong you are. The predicaments of Dylan Malone are both touching and humorous. You'll be amused as you turn the pages of this wonderfully unpredictable book. There is only one thing that you won't enjoy- when you get to the last page and the journey appears to be over. But fear not! There's more Dylan on the way! (Unless you have vision problems, this large print book is more than the regular print book. So, don't waste the two dollars extra on this one)
