The powerful and heartwarming  New York Times bestselling movie novelization

When Justin's older brother, Kyle, is killed in Afghanistan, Justin can't believe that his brother is really gone. Except there's one thing that Kyle left behind….

Max is a highly trained military canine who has always protected his fellow soldiers. But when he loses his handler and best friend, Kyle, Max is traumatized and unable to remain in the service.

He is sent home to America, where the only human he connects with is Justin, and he is soon adopted by Kyle's family, essentially saving his life. At first Justin has no interest in taking care of his late brother's troubled dog. However, the two learn to trust each other, which helps the four-legged veteran become his heroic self once more. As the pair start to unravel the mystery of what really happened to Kyle, they find more excitement—and danger—than they bargained for. But they might also find an unlikely new best friend—in each other.

This edition is a paper-over-board hardcover.

What follows is a strong bond between human and canine as both deal with the loss of Kyle and figure out what led to his death.

I want to read this book. I have seen the movie and it is very sad.

I love this book because it has emotional moments and things like that.

I really like that Max and his owner get a long and they become friends forever and I like that they are on some type of mission to find something and the start of the book is very sad but the end of the book is very happy and it is very surprising on what happens in the end and that is why I love the book.
