Review Quotes: "The smallness of Truman's world makes his expedition appropriately daunting--and funny--as he makes his way out of his tank and toward the door....Observational humor, clear affection between Truman and Sarah, and bold adventure make this a memorable pet-owner love story."--Publisher's Weekly "April 22, 2019"
