Description
Zoe and her family enjoy rescuing dogs, especially great pyrenes, and uniting them with loving families. Her father is a vet, and her mother helps take care of and rehome the rescued animals. When a new family moves into the house next door, Zoe and her sister, Alice, can't help but notice that there is a boy in the new family near their age. When they finally meet him, they discover that, although he is nearly 10 years old, he cannot or will not speak. He is currently living with his great aunt and uncle until his parents “sort out a problem." His aunt and uncle hardly know him or anything about him, and now they are tasked with caring for him.
As time goes on, the boy, Phillip, begins spending more time with Zoe and Alice because he has discovered his love for dogs. Even though he does not speak, his excited face when he sees them shows the feelings that aren't spoken. This adventurous, encouraging, and animal-filled read is likely to be a big hit with young animal and dog lovers! This chapter book features large font and easy-to-read sentences. 112 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of White Fur Flying
A young boy tries to find his voice with the help of some four-legged friends in this "elegantly spare novel about the healing power of dogs and love" (Publishers Weekly), from the Newbery-winning author of Sarah, Plain and Tall.
Zoe's family rescues dogs in need. There is always the sweet smell of dog and a warm body looking to cuddle or play. There is always a new dog to be saved, and loved. Fur flies everywhere. It covers everything. Zoe's house is never silent.
The house across the street is always silent these days. A new family has moved in and Phillip, the boy, has stopped speaking. He doesn't even want to try.
Saving dogs and saving boys may be different jobs, but Zoe learns that some parts are the same. Both take attention and care. They take understanding and time. And maybe just a bit of white fur flying.
From Newbery Medalist Patricia MacLachlan, White Fur Flying is an endearing tale of companionship and hope that is "beautifully told, quietly moving, and completely satisfying" (Kirkus Reviews).
