Description

Fans of Pax and A Dog's Way Home will love this heartwarming story of a girl living in a shelter and the homeless dog she's determined to reunite with his family, now available in paperback.

Piper's life is turned upside down when her family moves into a shelter in a whole new city. She misses her house, her friends, and her privacy--and she hates being labeled the homeless girl at her new school.

But while Hope House offers her new challenges, it also brings new friendships, like the girls in Firefly Girls Troop 423 and a sweet street dog named Baby. So when Baby's person goes missing, Piper knows she has to help. But helping means finding the courage to trust herself and her new friends, no matter what anyone says about them--before Baby gets taken away for good.

Told in alternating perspectives, this classic and heartfelt animal tale proclaims the importance of hope, the power of story, and the true meaning of home.

--Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal-winning author

Author: Pyron, Bobbie
Bobbie Pyron calls A Dog's Way Home "My own personal love letter to all the great, classic dog books I've read and loved and to all the dogs I've loved, too." As a part-time youth librarian, Bobbie enjoys sharing dog stories, and books of all kinds, with young readers. When she's not writing, working as a librarian, or volunteering with animal rescue organizations, Bobbie and her dogs Boo, Teddy, and Sherlock can often be found walking in the woods of Park City, Utah, where she lives with her husband, Todd.
