The Truth of Me: About a Boy, His Grandmother, and a Very Good Dog

(3) 1-3 While staying with his grandmother, Robbie learns some family history that explains why his mother is so distant. Robbie is a sympathetic protagonist, and the supporting cast of senior citizens and one special dog are equally memorable. This short, gentle novel focuses, like much of MacLachlan's recent writing, on the special role of grandparents and dogs in a child's life.
