Praised by Newbery Medal-winning author Katherine Applegate as graceful and miraculous, this Schneider Family Book Award-winning novel tells how one girl's friendship with a homeless dog mends a family's heart.
Cally Fisher knows she can see her dead mother, but the only other living soul who does is a mysterious wolfhound who always seems to be there when her mom appears. How can Cally convince anyone that her mom is still with the family, or persuade her dad that the huge silver-gray dog belongs with them?
With beautiful, spare writing and adorable animals, A Dog Called Homeless is perfect for readers of favorite middle-grade novels starring dogs, such as Because of Winn-Dixie and Shiloh.
What happens when the only one who understands you can't speak either?
- A Heartwarming Animal Story: Cally is sure the giant, silver-gray Irish wolfhound is a message from her mom. But to her grieving father, he's just a stray.
- Finding Your Voice: Cally hasn't spoken in thirty-one days. Now, she must find the words to convince her family to keep the dog that connects her to her mother's memory.
- An Unlikely Friendship: A powerful new bond with Sam, a boy who is blind and deaf, teaches Cally that there are many ways to be seen and heard.
- A Story of Family Healing: A moving, ultimately hopeful novel about how a family fractured by loss learns to remember--and live--together again.
