A young boy tries to find his voice with the help of some four-legged friends in this тАЬelegantly spare novel about the healing power of dogs and loveтАЭ (Publishers Weekly), from the Newbery-winning author of Sarah, Plain and Tall.
ZoeтАЩs 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. ZoeтАЩs 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 doesnтАЩt 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 тАЬbeautifully told, quietly moving, and completely satisfyingтАЭ (Kirkus Reviews).
