The Borrowed Puppy

LoveReading4Kids Says

The special relationship between a young girl and a dog, family drama, puppy heroics – what’s not to love in Holly Webb’s new story?

Jade is desperate for a dog but understands that it’s not possible, at least until her little brother is older. Signing up for a dog walking website seems the ideal solution and Jade is in heaven when she meets Milo, the adorable Golden Retriever puppy. They immediately form a special bond, but it’s threatened when Milo’s owner finds a new job far away.

The story of how things work out for the two is full of excitement, the tension resolved in the best way possible. Holly Webb understands exactly what young readers want and delivers it impeccably in stories that perfectly balance thrills and reassurance, jeopardy and resolution, and this will be much enjoyed by all readers and bliss for any dreaming of owning a dog.
