Being a YA book reader, I didn’t have a lot to compare this more elementary level book to. It was cute,
but the emotions didn’t really hit me deeply like a lot of other books I read do.
It was more of a light read. The characters were lovable, though. They had interesting personalities
that a reader would be able to relate to. Also, since the book was written from the point of view of a dog,
it made it extremely funny because he was innocent and naive.
On the other hand, I wasn’t so fond of the plot. It went very slowly, and was slightly repetitive in places.
It did pick up near the end, but at that point, I was kind of dragging myself to finish.
Overall, I enjoyed reading about the characters, but in my opinion, the story was generally very slow.

On a scale of 1-5, I would probably give this book a 3, meaning it was alright.
For people who read majority YA books will find this book quite a bit under their usual expectations.
But younger audiences may enjoy this a lot because this is probably the kind of story they are used
to seeing. My 8 year old sister read some of it and thoroughly enjoyed that much,
so The Wizard’s Dog Fetches the Grail is most likely best for that age group.
