New Releases by Ann M. Martin

In this companion to her acclaimed 2005 novel, A Dog''s Life, Ann M. Martin tells the parallel stories of a stray dog (the brother of the dog featured in A Dog''s Life), a boy dealing with unspeakable loss, and a boy whose most ardent wish is to own a dog—and everything for a dog. Bone and his sister, Squirrel, are stray dogs born in a shed. Left motherless as puppies, the two dogs survive together for a while, but are soon wrenched apart.

Henry''s best friend has moved away. All Henry has wanted is a dog of his own. But his parents won''t let him.
