June 2017 Book of the Month | In a nutshell: inspiring true story of the love between a little dog and a long distance runner
A retelling of marathon runner Dion Leonard’s bestselling true story, this is the kind of book that young readers absolutely love. Leonard was competing in a gruelling race across the Gobi Desert when he came across a little stray dog. For some reason, the two bonded and Gobi, as he called her, was soon running alongside Leonard, providing him with real encouragement and support.
By the time they finished the race, the two were inseparable, and Leonard knew that he wanted to take the little dog home to Scotland, no matter what it cost. It proved very difficult, especially when Gobi went missing in China, while Leonard was in Britain. After moments of real danger, and through a combination of luck, love and hard work, the two were finally reunited.
This heart-warming animal story is perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo or Sheila Burnford’s classic The Incredible Journey. ~ Andrea Reece
