The Dog Who Lost His Bark by Eoin Colfer
A warm, uplifting story for young readers about a boy and his dog and the power of music to heal; a first-time collaboration from two Irish Children’s Laureates. Patrick has been desperate for a dog of his own for as long as he can remember – and this summer, with his father away, he longs for a buddy more than ever. In his short doggy life, Oz has suffered at the hands of BAD PEOPLE. Somewhere out there, he believes, is an AWESOME BOY – his BOY. Maybe when they find each other he will learn to BARK again...“[…] full of expression.” * The Irish Independent *
“[a] heart-warming and enchanting story.” * Irish Examiner *
“A memorable, gentle, moving book, this one is an instant classic that you will keep forever. I can't recommend it highly enough.” * Fallen Star Stories *
