While it may be aimed squarely at the young adult market, I can see any pet owner who has lost a beloved friend too soon getting a lot out of Rocket and Andy's story. It's a fun, uplifting tale that frequently delves into some fairly complex emotions, and seems perfectly pitched at the 12-18 year-old market (and, as I mentioned, anyone who's ever had to say goodbye to a pet).
