This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

I like the interior drawings, but I'm not crazy about the cover painting. :s

Tate has always wanted a dog, so when one turns up in her yard, she convinces Mam & Pap to let her keep the animal she names Sable. Unfortunately, Sable likes to run around the neighborhood causing trouble...and eventually Tate's parents decide that the family can't keep Sable any longer.

Can Tate find a way to keep her beloved pet?

Apparently Tate lives in Vermont.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Please take a moment to make a journal entry and let this book's previous readers know that it's safe with you.

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books: a little like geocaching or a treasure hunt - you can follow a registered book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)
