INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Harlow, Joan Hiatt

Star in the Storm

(2) 4-6 Maggie, twelve, adores her family's Newfoundland dog, but Sirius is in danger. He's not a herding dog, and a new law decrees that only sheepdogs are allowed on the island. In this old-fashioned story with many subplots, it's not realistic that everything works out; still, the many threads are woven neatly together in this fast-moving story set in Newfoundland in the early 1900s. Maggie is a likable protagonist, and dog lovers will revel in the many exploits of the gentle giant she loves.
