The Strays Like Us by Cecilia Galante
From the award-winning author of The Patron Saint of Butterflies andThe World from Up Here comes a story of a girl who finds friendship where she least expects it.From the moment Fred (never Winifred!) spots a scruffy little mutt with sad eyes, she knows she's in big trouble. Toby's in bad shape, and Fred longs to rescue him from the old man with the mile-long mean streak who lives next door. But Margery -- the straight-talking woman who is fostering Fred -- says going over to their house is against the rules. And since Fred will only be around until her mother comes to grips with her dependence, Fred can't let herself care too deeply. Not about Toby or Margery or Delia, a new classmate whose insistent friendship surprises Fred at every turn. Because the more Fred lets this lovable band of misfits into her heart, the harder it'll be to leave them all behind.In this story of loss and love, acclaimed author Cecilia Galante examines life's difficult choices and how a girl plus the dog she loves can add up to finding family in the most unlikely places.
Although CECILIA GALANTE secretly wishes she could fly, she keeps her feet firmly on the ground in Kingston, Pennslyvania, where she lives with her husband and three children. Cecilia is the author of five other novels for young adults and middle school kids, including The Patron Saint of Butterflies, which was a Book Sense Pick, the Northeast Indie Booksellers YA Book of the Year, and a Recommended Read on Oprah's website.
