"Upbeat and chirpy, and decorated with lots of kid-style illustrations, Leo evokes sympathy with a light touch." - School Library Journal (starred review)
The joys and trials of fourth grade -and of life with her father now that her mother is gone - play out in charming letters from Annie to her dog, Leo. Genuine and funny, Amy Hest's first-person narration revisits a winning young character as she takes on a new year - and a new dog - with humor, honesty, and resilience.
