Illustrated by
Diane deGroat.
Curtis acquires a dog in the wake of his parents' divorce, but Sammy bites, and the family eventually finds him a home on a farm with experienced dog owners who can train him properly. Although this might not be the story that Hurwitz's fans expect, it is told with her customary empathy and clear style while stretching boundaries a bit for her readers.
