Testimonials

A DOG STEALS HOME

"Pitched right to the heart, A Dog Steals Home is a winner that touches all bases. Read it and cheer!" —M. H. Herlong, author of the award-winning Buddy and The Great Wide Sea

"Zach is a charming boy who will win hearts. A base hit." —Kirkus Reviews

"It's (A Dog Steals Home) a tail-wagging coming-of-age story with the flavor of New Orleans."—Sheila Stroup, The Times Picayune

"It's (A Dog Steals Home) a fine middle grade novel...such a charmer, the sweetest, fun little book." — Susan Larson, The Reading Life

“A Dog Steals Home beautifully weaves together the reality of older animals at shelters with that of a young person’s struggle with family changes; and in bringing the two together they both overcome the challenges they face. As the mom of a 6th grader (and a newborn) and an animal welfare professional, this story which celebrates the spirit of volunteerism and the joys and pains of childhood deeply resounded with me.” —Ana Zorrilla, CAWA, CEO Louisiana SPCA
