Newbery Honoree Ann Martin once again proves her versatility with an incredible stylistic departure in this "autobiography" of a stray dog.
Squirrel and her brother Bone begin their lives in a toolshed behind someone's summer house. Their mother nurtures them and teaches them the many skills they will need to survive as stray dogs. But when their mother is taken from them suddenly and too soon, the puppies are forced to make their own way in the world, facing humans both gentle and brutal, busy highways, other animals, and the changing seasons. When Bone and Squirrel become separated, Squirrel must fend for herself, and in the process, makes two friends who in very different ways define her fate.

This book was great. If you liked it, you should also read "everything for a dog", by Ann m. Martin.
I liked it but its not my favourite book in the whole world...
This book is an amazing sequel to Ann M. Martin's book "Everything For A Dog" Part of the book you want to cry but other parts make you smile. Read it for yourself and it will put you in a trance.
This book is sad happy and great
I recommend this book to dog lovers or to any reader that enjoys reading stories from different points of view. It caused me to think more deeply about the importance being caring, responsible and committed to all in my care, regardless of their species!
My friend read it and said it was sooooooooo good. Its about these two dogs who are abandoned and they tell the story of their life. it is a autobiography of a dog.
It is a very good book, but i haven't finished. it is sad, happy, and myseterious all at the same time.
I love this book so much teacher read it at my old school out loud it will make you but if you love dogs this is a book for you, I mean it's a dog that tells the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
