★ “This is a little gem.”

A Dog for Life
L. S. MATTHEWS
YOU’VE MAYBE HEARD the story about how John Hawkins “ran away with
his pet dog.” But the truth is that John and Mouse left to save Tom. And
that Mouse is much more than just an ordinary pet dog.
But this story starts when Tom becomes ill and the doctors say they have to
send Mouse away for fear of infection. Of course the boys know they have
to do something. At the pound Mouse will die and without Mouse, Tom
will never recover. So John’s journey begins, but what starts as a trip to find
a temporary home for Mouse turns out nothing like the way they planned.
From the author of Fish comes another unforgettable journey.
★ “The bond between the brothers and their dog is as convincing
as Tiger’s devotion to the title fish in Matthews’s first book.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred
