Description

Meet Kevin Pugh, 12-year-old couch potato. Now meet Cromwell, his part beagle, part potato chip dog. Kevin’s looking forward to spending his summer doing as little as possible. Unfortunately, Kevin’s father, former Chicago Bears star player/super-sports fanatic, Howie Pugh, feels differently. So does Cromwell, who has suddenly and mysteriously developed a fascination with agility competitions: running up seesaws, leaping over hurdles, soaring through hoops (sometimes). If he has to do anything, Kevin would rather do something for newly obsessed Cromwell, but dog agility lessons do not constitute a sport in his father’s mind, so football camp it is. Until some well-timed events collide, literally, and soon Kevin’s found a way for he and Cromwell to take classes, and the upstart Team Cromwell is born.
Andy Behrens has written a hilarious novel with a dry-as-dirt protagonist who’s constantly tortured by the goings-on around him. It’s also a charming story about a boy and his dog, as well as a meaningful and heartfelt look at a relationship between a boy and his father who don’t always see eye-to-eye.

      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Satisfying! Andy Behrens blends sports clichÄs and an improbable dog-training scenario as 12-year-old Kevin Pugh gains wisdom about himself; his dog, Cromwell; and his family. Sean Runnette's narration is appealing in spite of the story's sometimes-stereotypical characters--for example, the former-football-player father who is fixated on his glory days and the dog trainer with the mysterious foreign accent. But Kevin is the focus of the story, and Runnette's nuanced portrayal of his character shows his emotional growth and sets this performance apart. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
