Britta, an eleven-year-old girl has lived in soul-deep sorrow since her mother left their family. When Britta’s father forgets her birthday, he decides to give her a dog (although Britta asked for a cell phone!). They adopt Crash, an Australian shepherd from their local animal shelter in Sault Ste. Marie, a small city in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and the adventures begin.
Rescuing Crash, the Good Dog is a story about broken hearts—not only Britta’s and her father’s but also a dog’s broken heart—and it is a story about the bonds between daughters and fathers and good dogs and also not-always-so-good cats.
‘I loved this story about healing broken hearts and broken families—both human and animal… A wonderful and satisfying ending.’ —Janie Chang, Globe and Mail bestselling author of The Porcelain Moon and The Library of Legends.
‘A powerful tale of finding friendship in the most unexpected places. Rescuing Crash showcases the true heart of animal rescue in this fast-paced story of companionship, family, and healing. A must-read for young readers.’ —Nikki Mitchell, author of the Magic Shoebox Adventures
‘…perfect for readers who enjoy emotional, character-driven stories about family, resilience, and the special connection between humans and animals. Rescuing Crash is a touching and uplifting read that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and been loved by a pet.’ —Michelle Goaley, Project Director Early Literacy Professional Learning, Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators
‘Told with a lighthearted touch, Rescuing Crash, grabbed my attention from the first page. The author’s colorful descriptions of Crash’s escapades had me laughing throughout the story… a rollicking and fun-filled story for readers of all ages.
