Puppy for Sale 1. The Puppy Saga

Having spent 11 of his 16 years of age in an orphanage/children's home, Jensen finds family, love, and life.  This story is so compelling and well-written, a true joy to read. 

I echo everything @chris191070 said in his review.But what I will add is there are a lot of stories on GA about teens in similar situations a lot of times the stories cover the same ground.This one our main character Jensen(Puppy) not only lived a sheltered existence but had incompetent Doctors making his mental state worse. When finds out he has a family  in a sense it's like a 16 year old being 5 years old again because he never learned even the basic things about living in society outside of the children's home it becomes a very interesting journey and makes this story unique

This is the story of Jensen Stibbings who goes by the name Puppy.

He's 16 years old and has spent all of his life at Greenstone Children's home, time is running out for him to find a family. He has complex medical problems and anger issues.

But what happens to Puppy is a rollercoaster of a ride when he gets parents and a brother.

Puppy has to learn to live life outside of the security of the children's home. We follow his story as he learns and enjoys all sorts of new experiences, some good and some bad.

This is a fantastic coming of age that I highly recommend.

I really enjoyed reading this story 🙂

I found it developed the main characters well and there were plenty of unexpected plot twists. Some scary and they made me think about them. 

I would recommend this if by you like teen romance and drama.

Thank you to the author,

This is quite a rollercoaster of a story that delves in to similar topics often portrayed in stories about teens on GA but has a unique plot that has you rooting for the main character (Jensen aka Puppy) from beginning to end. A truly remarkable well written coming of age story that I can't recommend enough.

Really great tale.  Fiction can be more real than the cold statistics of uk homes.  A very good piece of writing ✍️ 

This story is intoxicating. From the very first introduction to Puppy to the last embrace with Hunter it has pulled me in. The nickname, Puppy, is so endearing and sets the stage for the development of him and his personality. He is a puppy and, despite the rather awkward and rough introductions to the "real" world he remains an innocent. 

I don't know how I happened onto your writings,  James Matthews, but I love your insights, your jargon, your awareness of the angst of teenage life and the brutality that can develop from those relationships. I don't mean physically, although that's what happened in your story. Your teenagers are so honest with each other. That's what propels the story.

I just finished the first Puppy story. I need to take a break. But, I will be back.

Great story!!!
