It is an added bonus for sickly ten-year-old Benji that his new service dog Elvis can talk, and Elvis is certainly better than the other option the doctors suggested to keep him safe: a special helmet to be worn at all times. Elvis’ big, direct personality helps Benji learn to overlook his physical circumstances, overcome bullying, and make new friends. The sequel is Elvis and the Underdogs: Secrets, Secret Service, and Room Service. (Booktalk by Louisiana Young Readers' Choice Committee, 2016) |
