Took about 4 hours to read. It's a cute story about a young boy and his dog have to stay with the weird great aunt who he hasn't seen since he was 2. plus, she can't hear and never learned sign or to read lips.
Toy store, carrying vintage toys and a can of monster blood. When someone tells you it is not for sale....don't get it. Put it back and walk out. But kids really want something, they get it, plus more what he paid for.
The dog has a few oh no scenes, but the dog makes it to the end. He probably knew if the dog dies, no one will read anymore :-)
