Fans of Katherine Applegate, Holly Goldberg Sloan, and Lynda Mullaly Hunt will love New York Times bestselling author Amber Smith's heartwarming middle grade debut about family, friendship, and the special connection between a girl and her dog.

Eleven-year-old Sadie's school year is off to an awful start. Her best (and only) friend moved away, her older brother is a jerk (as always), and her beloved Gramps is having more and more trouble keeping his memories straight. But when she comes across a stray dog, she discovers something wonderful and magical-she and the dog, Dewey, are able to communicate telepathically. Sadie knows that Dewey is destined to be her friend.

Dewey is quickly captured and sent to a shelter. And Sadie's moms say Dewey is dangerous, a bite risk, and that Sadie, whose mind is always wandering with a larger than life imagination, needs to prove she's more responsible before she can adopt any pets. But Sadie is running out of time-Dewey lets Sadie know that her days at the shelter are numbered.

The only solution: break Dewey out of doggie jail.

In this reaffirming, magical, and uplifting story of friendship, family, and believing in yourself, New York Times bestselling author Amber Smith assures the reader: it's okay to think big and act with your whole heart.

Zusammenfassung
NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR'S DEBUT MG: This is Amber Smith's first foray into the middle grade world, and she's nailed it-with a pitch-perfect voice and a charming story, this novel is sure to delight middle grade readers and gatekeepers alike.

RELATABLE MAIN CHARACTER: Sadie, like a lot of kids her age, doesn't have everything figured out. She's having a tough time in school, she doesn't have many friends-and many kids can empathize with how low Sadie feels when she messes up. But like Sadie, they can also learn to persevere.

A STORY TO WARM YOUR HEART: With a generous helping of kindness to others and animals and a strong family foundation, this story is the definition of heartwarming. Sadie strives only for the best outcome for everybody, even as she breaks a few rules along the way, and her optimism and kindness are infectious.

EMBRACING DIFFERENCES: From Sadie's learning disability, to Macy's therapy appointments, to the telepathic connection between Sadie and Dewey, the things that might make a kid feel too different or like they don't fit in are accepted, and the characters learn how to love themselves exactly as they are.

FAMILY FIRST: Reading about Sadie's warm, loving relationship with her family is like a warm hug. Her moms are such wonderfully caring parents, and her Gramps is always ready to cheer her up with a funny Grampsism and a delicious PB&J sandwich. Even her older brother Noah has his redeeming moments!

NORMALIZED LGBTQIA+ FAMILIES: Sadie has two moms. Amber is a lesbian and wanted to depict a loving marriage between two women to normalize same-sex parents in kids books.

A DOG LOVER'S DREAM: Any kids who dream of having a dog-and what kid doesn't?-will immediately understand the stakes here, and will love to see Sadie and Dewey's incredible bond.
