| Publisher Description: A heart-warming animal adventure story about friendship and belonging that will appeal to all fans of Michael Morpurgo and Roald Dahl Dog wasn't really a dog, she was a human girl. But she was called Dog because that is what Uncle had always called her. Dog has never been outside of nasty Uncle's pet shop. She sleeps in a box on a floor and has no idea what the world outside looks like. Then in a flurry of color and feathers, Carlos the parrot arrives in the shop and her world as she knows it changes for ever. Managing to escape, Dog, Carlos and her best friend Esme the coati set out, in search of the same thing--somewhere they belong, somewhere they can call home. But the world is a huge, dangerous place, and they face danger and adventure at every turn. A spirit-soaring tale of adventure, friendship, and belonging. |
