“Blackadder has created a perfect tone for the book - the language is simple, clear and visual. The plot twists and turns, and we never know exactly what is going to happen to Stay next. It's not an easy task to endow a fibreglass dog with feelings and yet stay true to its physically lifeless form, but Blackadder manages it, and for any child who owns a dog, many of Stay's thought processes will feel familiar.” - Sun Herald (click for full review)
