“Review Fix: How would you like the book to be remembered?
Dellaventura: I would like it to be remembered as a sweet, endearing story about love, kindness, and second chances. I want readers to realize that it’s never too late to turn things around and change for the better. I also want them to realize that when you aren’t nice to those around you, you can never be truly happy on the inside.”
“The story is cute, humorous and packed with adventure that readers of all ages will enjoy–especially if they love animals. But as fun as it is to follow Sneaky Seymour through his antics, there’s something bigger about the book. Messages of love and the importance of teamwork resonate cover to cover. ”
