Jean Little's poignant novel about an abandoned girl, and the dog who helps teach her how to trust again.
Ten-year-old Min has had a long history of foster care since she was abandoned at age three. Now, let go by yet another foster family, Min continues to build a protective wall around herself. Her newest caregiver, a former Children's Aid doctor, sees past Min's hardened shell and tries to find a way to reach her...and does, finally, by taking in a sick, neglected dog that has escaped from a puppy mill. While watching the dog recover and open its heart to its new owners, Min comes out of her own shell.
Readers will rejoice as Min opens her heart and allows herself to be a part of a loving family, to make friends and to finally stand up to the taunts of a bully, whose hurtful words have contributed to her lack of self-esteem.
I love reading Jean Little and this one didn't disappoint. Beautiful story about relationships and about people who feel not accepted.

Time to take my sack full of books to the November meetup at Cravings Restaurant and find a new reader for each of them. I got this back from my friend Sharon after she and her mother read it.
A bookcrosser moving meant a pile of books landed on my doorstep for transport to crossing-guard to add to book boxes. These book boxes are going around the group while covid19 is necessitating the cancelling of our monthly meetings.
This little books like a christmas book so I will put away till November.

Loved this little book about a young girl in the foster system.
Sing-song came over for a visit and we traded books.
Picked this last night when having a delightful visit. Back on my shelves awaiting another reader.
A big thank you to sing-song for dropping off a bag of books at my door!
Stopped at RUReading's house today on my way back from an appointment with a surprise front door drop-off. Good to catch up!
Oops! I entered the book on my shelf before you released it. Sorry!
I enjoyed this story about Min and her experiences in foster care. A positive story for young readers.
Taking the book to the Calgary BC Meetup today.
