Saving Winslow is a sweet, wholesome story of a boy named Louie who nurses Winslow, a miniature donkey, back to health. Winslow, in turn, helps to fill a hole in Louie's life created when his older brother Gus joined the army. The story is also about Louie's friendship with a quirky new girl named Nora for whom Winslow is also filling a few holes. The book proves that people, and donkeys, are stronger than we think they are.
This tale of love, friendship, and letting go will be especially appealing to readers who liked
Charlotte's Web or to to readers who love animals and understand their unique ability to connect with humans. The chapters are very short, and the book is a quick read. I recommend it to readers grade 3 and up.
