The Dog Days of Charlotte Hayes

(3) 4-6 Though she's "not a dog person," Charlotte's the one who cares for the family pet. Recognizing the pup needs a better home, Charlotte raises money to buy it from her dad, then gives it to a rescue organization. Charlotte's complicated family (Mom with postpartum depression, Dad drawn quite unflatteringly) shakes up what might otherwise have been a conventional dog story.
