Illustrated by
Linzie Hunter.
Her parents don't want a dog, but that doesn't stop Amelia from hatching a well-thought-out and -executed plan to get her heart's desire. Colorful, skillfully composed illustrations chronicle Amelia's scheme, from hypothetical questions to an imaginary dog to searching for said imaginary dog at the animal shelter to bringing a real dog home. Fellow dog-owner-wannabes will be in awe.
