I had a great time with this wonderful story. A story about love, redemption, terror, dogs and aliens. That is quite the package! A little boy (little alien to be precise), is running from a pack of assassins. His traveling companion is his dog "Old Yeller" who is neither Old nor "yeller". Who they meet along the way is ust half the adventure. Their tale intersects with that of handicapped wise acre Leilani Klonk who just may be killed by her stepfather on her next birthday and Michelina Bellsong, a lost soul out of prison. How do these stories interweave? That was the fun part! I love the message at the end...even though some people may find it a bit schmaltzy.
