The Green Dog: A Mostly True Story

(2) 4-6 Staples recalls every sensorial and emotional detail of her summer as an almost fifth grader when a dog adopts her family. Her father has already told her she can't have a dog, but Suzanne is determined to keep "Jeff." The adult Suzanne remembers the child's loneliness and pain with visceral intensity and creates a memoir not of a dog but of the girl who loves and loses him.
