    About this audiobook

    A heartfelt companion novel to the critically acclaimed Chester and Gus about inclusivity, autism, friendship, and family, perfect for fans of Sara Pennypacker and Kate DiCamillo.

    After being separated from his family, Franklin becomes an independent cat, until he meets a goofy dog named Chester. Chester is a service dog to his person, a boy named Gus, and Chester knows just the girl to be Franklin’s person—Gus’s classmate, Amelia.

    Amelia loves cats, but has a harder time with people. Franklin understands her, though, and sees how much they have in common. When Amelia gets into some trouble at school, Franklin wants to help the girl who’s done so much to help him. He’s not sure how, yet, but he’s determined to try.

    This sweet and moving novel demonstrates how powerful the bond between pets and people can be, while thoughtfully depicting a neurodivergent tween’s experience.

      Lovely strong heart moving story like all of the authors other books, his father gets extremely sick of a brain surgery and his whole world gets turned upside down. A story of extraordinary forth grader.
    • 5/5
      My 6 year old just gobbled up this audio book in 2 listening sessions. We read Chester and Gus as a read aloud and she was happy to see their story continue, and she enjoyed learning more about Amelia. She says, "It was really good, and other kids should definitely read this book." Two thumbs up!
