Craig & Fred Young Readers' Edition: A Marine, a Stray Dog, and How They Rescued Each Other

248 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | October, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-269335-8 $16.99
(3) 4-6 While on duty in Afghanistan, the Marine intelligence specialist author spotted an emaciated dog scavenging through rubble. Though prohibited by Marine regulations, Grossi adopted "Fred" and smuggled him back to the U.S.; Fred continues to return the favor by nurturing his owner through PTSD and depression. Grossi's conversational tone makes this inspiring memoir, here adapted for young readers, flow easily. Black-and-white snapshots are included.
