By now, Johnny Heller is a familiar name to anyone who listens to kids' audiobooks. He sounds more like a kid than most real kids, and he tugs on the heartstrings with his vivid portrayal of 9-year-old Curtis, who at least hopes to get a dog out of his parents' divorce. The question is, even if he gets his longed-for pet, can he keep it when nobody else seems to want a dog around? M.C. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
