It's 1968 in the rural coastline town of Denton, Florida, and the only thing with a tougher life than 12-year-old Jack Turner is a starving dog named Bones. When they meet while Jack is fishing, Jack knows that he and Bones are meant for each other, and he promises his oft-absent alcoholic parents that he'll somehow get a job to pay for his new dog's food and care.

In the process of finding work, Jack meets Hank Pittman, a middle-aged man who lives in a dilapidated school bus at the harbor, and Mrs. Mary Jane Dawson, an eccentric but kind older woman in need of gardening help. As Bones nurses back to health, Hank and Mrs. Dawson become the caring parents Jack never had.

But gossip and lies about Jack's growing relationships lead to an attack on Bones' life and questions about Hank's past. When Hank is put on trial for a crime he didn't commit, everything Jack holds dear is set in the balance of that small-town courtroom.

Floating Twigs is a timeless coming-of-age story about a boy and his dog, the responsibilities that come with loving others, and how, sometimes, one small moment can change a life forever.

This was a great story for all ages. I wish the ending had given more details as to how and where the main character had ended up.

Great story for all ages.

This book is filled with sadness, happiness and sincere compassion from people who had little to give. It is so heartwarming. I am so glad I chose it. I couldn't stop listening and couldn't wait to begin listening when I did have to stop. 5 stars all the way for sure!

I fell in love with the protagonists in the first chapter. The character development and description of setting made me feel right at home, like I knew these people. Lots of tension in a very well developed plot kept me on the edge of my seat. Can’t wait to read the next one!

This one’s easy to love

What a great story. As a dog lover and one who grew up at exactly the same time as the protagonist, I couldn’t have been more pleased. Outstanding narration too.
