Patrick has been desperate for a dog of his own for as long as he can remember, and this summer, with his father away, he longs for a canine friend more than ever. Meanwhile, in his short doggy life, Oz has suffered at the hands of bad people. Somewhere out there, he believes, is an awesome boy—his boy. And maybe, when they find each other, Oz will learn to bark again. Written by former Irish Children’s Laureate Eoin Colfer, internationally best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series, and illustrated by two-time Kate Greenaway Medal winner P.J. Lynch, this heartwarming story is certain to enchant. Now available in a conveniently sized paperback.
