Review: Swop The Satsuma-Sized Secret

Swop The Satsuma-Sized Secret by Lucy Noguera

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swop: The Satsuma-Sized Secret is a humorous tale of a little boy and the world’s smallest dog he finds in his suitcase. 

Ernie and his family leave the countryside to move to the city to be close with his Granny. He is missing his home and feels like he’d never get used to this place. However, things change when a surprising friend literally stumbles into his life.

Ernie’s new landlord is strict. Pets aren’t allowed in his new home and he had to give away his precious pet before moving. So Ernie decides to hide his little dog in his room. But the little fur ball has different plans. 

Chaos ensues when Swop sneaks into his lunch box and accompanies him to school. The rest of the story follows Ernie and his friend trying to hide Swop from the others, leading to various hilarious encounters. It’s a beautiful story children would enjoy just like my nieces did.
