I actually really enjoyed this book. Set in Scotland, it is the story of a young boy named Davie, who is given the care of a young (and rambunctious) border collie named Fly.
The story itself is a bit disjointed, some about training a sheepdog, some about sheepdog trials, some about sheep being stolen, but the characters are just so warm and happy, and the relationship between Davie and his father is a beautiful thing.
Overall, this is a simple and sweet book, which would be especially enjoyable for younger readers, possibly as a read-aloud. For me, it’s a 3/5.
