Sheldrake, Rupert
1 Reviews

4-6
Lester and George, sixth-grade dog owners, devise an experiment based on scientist Rupert Sheldrake's (real-life) book Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home. Their growing friendship helps both boys cope with losses. Banks brilliantly evokes boytalk and boythink; a level of scientific richness is added through George's correspondence with Sheldrake on such topics as animal intuition and the challenges of data collection.
