I enjoyed reading this book because even though it was a short book it was very interesting throughout the whole thing. My favourite character was Hugo (the dog) because even though his friend was not very nice to him when he left for bear's concert the next time he saw him Hugo was very nice to Hector ( his friend ) . My favourite part in the book was when Hector was brought on the stage and when they became friends again.

I liked it very much. I read it on the phone with my Auntie Jenny, and she thought it was very sad. My favourite bit was when Hector realised he could still play his fiddle. He played with his friend.

I like this book because there was a friendship in it. It broke because of music but in the end it also joined them back together

I liked hugo best. It intrested me because I did not know where Hector was being taken. I would recomend it to people who like drama stories.
Coach Jewel Humdinger 29.07.2021
The dog can play the fiddle. The man can play the fiddle and he taught the dog how to play the fiddle. I like the bit when they were friends again at the end.
