I thought that this was an incredible novel. Written by David Wroblewski,
The Story Of Edgar Sawtelle is an amazing book of a young boy, born mute, who lives on a farm with his parents raising and selling Sawtelle dogs. When his uncle Claude unexpectedly comes for a stay, Edgar's world turns upside-down.
At the sudden death of his father, Claude insinuates to work on the farm. Edgar knows that Claude had a role in his father's death and desperately tries to find a way to prove it, but when ironic events force Edgar to leave the farm with nothing but a few dogs to keep him company, things get rough for him.
His devotion to the farm and the Sawtelle dogs drives him home where he has to face his father's murderer, who now has laid down his feelings for Edgar's mother as well.
This book has a most unbelievable ending that will leave you breath taken. The whole time I was reading this book I almost never wanted to put it down and that's what I look for in books, no dry spots, and this book doesn't have any! I recommend this novel to anyone who wants to get wrapped up in an unpredictable novel.
