A great very quick read, simple and thought provoking.

"Runt" was a cute novel for younger readers about family, kindness, friendship and loyalty. The writing style and illustrations made me feel as though I was reading a Roald Dahl story but without the violence. There was a small amount of the fantastical as well as a couple of nasty villains that children will delight in hating, and then there is Runt, the star of the novel. This little mutt will steal readers' hearts and he and Annie try to save the family farm.

Beautifully written, "Runt" is destined to be an Aussie classic.… (más)

Craig Silvey is a favourite author of mine so I was pretty excited to receive an uncorrected proof from the publisher then a signed copy at an author event.
This book is delightful! It tells the story of Annie, her family and her closest friend - a ragtag, stray dog by the name of Runt.
Annie’s country town is at the mercy of a land baron who has acquired his wealth by nefarious means. When Annie’s family’s farm is at risk, Annie sees an opportunity to save it utilising some of Runt’s remarkable skills.
One thing I loved about this book was the hilarious names of some of the characters. They were so perfect for painting images of heroes and villains. I also loved the way the story unfolded and the way the town pulled together to help Annie out. There were no predictable outcomes so it was easy to remain engaged.
Although it is a quick read, it is really rather heartwarming and beautifully conceived and written. It is suitable for all ages and would make a great family read.
I have already purchased another copy as a gift for Christmas.

With thanks to Allen and Unwin for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Fittingly described as an Australian classic. I am a huge Craig Silvey fan and this book did not disappoint . I loved some of the expressions used and the simmering undertones of a 1960s country town were so vivid. I can see why this book was on the Australian high school curriculum. So many themes to explore. Probably my best book of 2023.
