...touching middle grade story--a girl who turns into a dog in order to better connect with her PTSD-suffering father--is certainly compelling, with definite appeal to young readers... Booklife Prize

Eleven-year-old Sydney faces a unique challenge in the form of Fred, a retired bomb-sniffing dog that her father, a wounded veteran, brought home from the war. While her dad battles PTSD, he finds solace in Fred's companionship, speaking to him more than to anyone else. Meanwhile, Sydney's mother copes with the family's mounting stress by immersing herself in work, leaving Sydney to manage her school assignments, household chores, and the daunting presence of a bully at school. She handles all tasks on her own. This reality starkly contrasts with the ideal family Sydney envisioned while her dad was deployed.
