A Dog Called Homeless
By Sarah Lean
I love this book! For those who haven't read it, it's so good! Here's what happened: Cally Fisher lives with her brother Luke, and her Dad. Her mom died in a car accident on Dad's birthday. When Cally's family visits the grave one day, Cally thinks she sees her mom standing there in a raincoat (It's either yellow or red, I forgot which color) she tries to tell the family, but Dad says she's just making people upset. Later in the book, the family moves to an apartment because Dad's job is getting poor. Luke is not happy about it. Their neighbor has a boy about Cally's age named Sam. He's blind and mostly deaf. When Cally sees her mom again, she has a dog with her, but the dog is real. He's a gray Irish Wolfhound. Cally falls in love with the dog and she thinks the dog can also see her mom. While Dad was somewhere in town one day, Cally meets a homeless man named Jed. Jed is kind and he likes to have the Irish Wolfhound as company. When Cally asks Dad about the Irish Wolfhound, he says that he doesn't want a dog in their apartment. Cally is disappointed at that news, but she is very determined to keep the dog as a pet. At school, Cally's friends are getting distant from her. She can sometimes see the gray dog, or Homeless, she calls it, running around in the school yard. Cally has also learned how to communicate with Sam, and they go on adventures together. At the end of the book, Jed tells Cally's family that before Mom died she told Jed to give Homeless to them. How Sweet! 🐕Overall, it's a great book and I totally reccomend it. Have a good day!

Do you know what a catamount is? It's a cougar or mountain lion! Serafina, a girl living in 1899, was the daughter of a shap_shifter. At times, her mother would be a mountain lion, the next, she would be a human. But Serafina doesn't have this ability. No matter how hard she tries, she can't do it! Up until a few months ago, she didn't even know her mother. Ever since she was little, Serafina has been raised in Biltmore, a giant estate near the mountains of North Carolina.

He seems to be able to control animals. Even more terrifying, he has sent his spy so that he can invade Biltmore! But who is it? How can she defeat the man? I liked this book because it had a lot of details about life in 1899.

Warriors: Battles of the Clans (Warriors Field Guide)

Discover more about the Warriors series in this amazing field guide, which will surely thrill any reader! From ThunderClan’s forest hunting skills, to RiverClan’s fishing techniques, or ShadowClan’s stealth and silent abilities, Battles of the Clans has plenty of information about the warrior cats! There are four Clans; ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, and ShadowClan—and they all live in the wild, hunting for themselves. If they can’t find peaceful solutions to a problem...they fight. This book shows some of their battles, and what happened in each one. I highly recommend this to all readers, and I think it is an awesome book, filled with illustrations and excitement! It’s simply impossible to put down.
Ginger Pye
By Eleanor Estes
Ginger Pye, by Eleanor Estes, says even in the most hopeless times, there can be a sliver of good fortune. Jerry Pye wanted one of Mrs. Speedy’s newborn puppies, and he very carefully selected just the right one he wanted the most. Soon though, there was competition. There was only one night left, but he got him just in time, thanks to Sam Doody, who offered him a job. The Pye Family named him Ginger Pye. Soon though, somebody stole him. Jerry and his sister, Rachel, went around for many months, searching the entire town of Cranbury, except Wally Bullwinkle’s house. He clamed to have a very large dog that would bite them. Things seemed hopeless. The good thing was though, that many months later, Ginger Pye leaped out of Wally Bullwinkle’s backyard! Their three- year-old uncle, Bennie Pye, found him the first. I recommend this story for boys and girls, grades third to sixth.
Shelby's Story: A Dog's Way Home Tale (Dog's Purpose Puppy Tales)
By W. Bruce Cameron
Shelby's Story is about a little dog who went from being trapped in a yard, to escaping and free. She left the yard and spent weeks on the street with one of her siblings. She finds herself in a tight space when her sibling is caught and a few weeks later so is Shelby. She is adopted by a trainer/filmmaker and trained to become a movie star. She films the movie and goes back to her new home. This book was remarkable. I rated it 5 stars for all of its life lessons.
