A heartwarmingâand heart-tuggingâmiddle grade novel about love, loyalty, and what it means to be part of a familyâfrom author Carolyn Crimi,. Perfect for fans of A Dogâs Life and Because of Winn-Dixie.
Miss Lottieâs home was for second chances.
When she adopted Gus, Roo, Tank, and Moon Pie, Miss Lottie rescued each member of the packâincluding herself, her helper, Quinn, and her reclusive cat, Ghostâand turned them into a family. But when a new dog, Decker, arrives and tries to hoard Miss Lottieâs heart and home for himself, the packâs future is threatened.
At first, Gus, the insecure pack leader, only notices little things, like tiny Moon Pie being kicked out of the bed and Ghost acting spooked (then againâŠGhost is a cat). But things soon go from bad to worse as Deckerâs presence causes disharmony in the group.
When Decker convinces Moon Pie to embark on an impossible journey, itâs up to Gus to gather his courage, rally his splintered pack, and bring the little dog home. And with coyotes and cars on the loose, the pack must push through obstacles and dangers to reunite with Moon Pie before he can get hurtâor, nearly as bad, get his heart broken.
