Praised by Newbery Medal-winning author Katherine Applegate as "graceful" and "miraculous," this Schneider Family Book Award-winning novel tells how one girl's friendship with a homeless dog mends a family's heart.
Cally Fisher knows she can see her dead mother, but the only other living soul who does is a mysterious wolfhound who always seems to be there when her mom appears. How can Cally convince anyone that her mom is still with the family, or persuade her dad that the huge silver-gray dog belongs with them?
With beautiful, spare writing and adorable animals, A Dog Called Homeless is perfect for readers of favorite middle-grade novels starring dogs, such as Because of Winn-Dixie and Shiloh.
In this powerful coming-of-age story, Cally must find a way to speak for the two souls nobody else believes in: her mother and a homeless dog.
- Unlikely Friendship: A powerful bond forms between Cally and Sam, a boy who is deaf and blind, as they learn to communicate in a world that doesn't always listen.
- A Family Healing: Follow a grieving father and daughter as they struggle to reconnect after a devastating loss, with the help of a very big, very special dog.
- A Touch of Magical Realism: Cally is sure she can see her mother, and the mysterious wolfhound who appears with her might be the key to convincing her family she's telling the truth.
- Award-Winning Storytelling: Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award, this beautifully written novel is perfect for fans of timeless classics like Because of Winn-Dixie and Shiloh.
