Dog Star by Jenny Nimmo
A magical story about a young girl's longing for a dog named Star, from a Smarties Prize-winning author. Looking at the sky one frosty night, Marty sees the Dog Star in all its brilliance for the first time. Although she has Tiggy, her cat, Marty longs for a dog; she'd call it Star. Later that night, when the Dog Star's light beams into her room, she discovers a real live dog beneath her bed and it seems that her wish has come true. But will Star bring Marty and her family happiness?
"* "A hauntingly charming blend of magic and realism for sharing aloud or for newly independent readers to read alone" The Sunday Tribune"
