Rent A Friend by Frieda Hughes

Poor Danny is lonely. Looks like he'll have to go out and find a companion! So he heads straight for the petshop - a nice little dog will suit him down to the ground. But the petshop owner doesn't have any dogs - and he offers Danny something else, instead: a living, breathing, 'human' friend of his own. Danny can't believe his luck - at last a companion that will actually talk to him. But perhaps making friends isn't quite that simple, as Danny begins to realise in the adventures that follow . . . Are friends really worth the bother!
There are some lovely moments in this book.. the twist at the end and the ideas about friendship and disability make this an enjoyable and interesting read. * Booktrusted News *
