"A beautiful, heartfelt adventure." Sophie Anderson "A fantastic quest novel that sits between Charlotte’s Web and War Horse. Rebel’s voice is true and clear: he is the best of dogs and this is the best of books.” Phil Earle "An instant classic. Outstanding writing and a richly adventurous story – Montgomery has reached a whole new level." Katya Balen “A terrific tail! A tail-thumping, tongue-lolling treat full of adventure, humour and heart.” Ross Welford “I Am Rebel both broke my heart and made it sing. This book is as close to perfect as it’s possible to get.” Natasha Farrant “The goodest story about the goodest boy. I love Rebel like my own dog.” Carlie Sorosiak
