## Description

Laika : Nick Abadzis, Nick Abadzis: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Brilliant. Emotional. Beautiful - This is one of the best and most moving stories I've ever read. It sums up the relationship with trainer and dog really we'll, it's beautifully illustrated and I could not put it down. Like the previous reviewer I have to admit to crying like a baby :)
Review: Cried like a baby - I read this in pretty much one sitting, which is rare for me to do, even with graphic novels. Enjoyed the illustrations just as much as the writing, and was in tears by the end of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant. Emotional. Beautiful
*by R***K on 1 August 2014*

This is one of the best and most moving stories I've ever read. It sums up the relationship with trainer and dog really we'll, it's beautifully illustrated and I could not put it down. Like the previous reviewer I have to admit to crying like a baby :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cried like a baby
*by N***R on 14 August 2013*

I read this in pretty much one sitting, which is rare for me to do, even with graphic novels. Enjoyed the illustrations just as much as the writing, and was in tears by the end of it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfectly sad. Have loved Nick's work since Tate
*by A***S on 13 October 2017*

Perfectly sad. Have loved Nick's work since Tate. Wish there were a whole lot more entries by for this author/artist.
