Secondhand Dogs

Om boken

A heartwarming—and heart-tugging—middle grade novel about
love, loyalty, and what it means to be part of a family—from author Carolyn
Crimi, with adorable illustrations by Melissa Manwill. Perfect for fans of A
Dog’s Life and Because of Winn-Dixie.

Miss Lottie’s home was for second chances.

When she adopted Gus, Roo, Tank, and Moon Pie, Miss Lottie
rescued each member of the pack—including herself, her helper, Quinn, and her
reclusive cat, Ghost—and turned them into a family. But when a new dog, Decker,
arrives and tries to hoard Miss Lottie’s heart and home for himself, the pack’s
future is threatened.

At first, Gus, the insecure pack leader, only notices little
things, like tiny Moon Pie being kicked out of the bed and Ghost acting spooked
(then again…Ghost is a cat). But things soon go from bad to worse as Decker’s
presence causes disharmony in the group.

When Decker convinces Moon Pie to embark on an impossible
journey, it’s up to Gus to gather his courage, rally his splintered pack, and
bring the little dog home. And with coyotes and cars on the loose, the pack
must push through obstacles and dangers to reunite with Moon Pie before he can
get hurt—or, nearly as bad, get his heart broken.
