Synopsis
Berkeley Breathed's first middle grade novel involves a wildly valuable show dog named Sam, his beloved human, 14-year-old orphaned Heidy, and a crazy cast of characters bent on destruction. When Heidi goes to live with her estranged uncle Hamish and his nasty poodle, Cassius, toting Sam along, madness ensues in signature Breathed style. Accompanied by expressive B&W line drawings.

Industry Reviews
"Dramatically lit and featuring comically exaggerated characters...Berkeley's b&w artwork augments the story's drama and humor. A moving tale about the beauty of imperfections and the capacity for love."
(07/20/2009)
"Black-and-white and full-color illustrations, done in the award-winning author's familiar style, are sprinkled throughout, adding depth to an already engaging and well-paced tale."
