The award-winning story of a lost West Highland Terrier warming
hearts and bringing generations together A dog's world is a world
of scents, of adventure. When a Harvey the West Highland Terrier
wanders out of his old life guided only by his nose and his heart,
lives begin to converge. Austin, a young volunteer at the Brayside
retirement home, quickly finds that the audacious Harvey inspires
Mr. Pickering, a bitter resident coping with memory loss, to tell
stories of his childhood. Moved by the elderly man's Dust Bowl
recollections of grinding poverty and the perseverance of his
friends and family, Austin begins to trade his preconceived notions
for empathy. But is it enough to give him the resolve to track down
Harvey's original owner? Supported by warm graphite illustrations
from acclaimed artist Tara Anderson, author Colleen Nelson immerses
readers in a rich and unflinchingly human tale of struggle and
hope-all inspired by one curious dog. STARRED REVIEW "[T]his gently
paced, character-driven narrative captivates on every level,
transforming a 'lost dog' story into a deeper reading experience.
Present-day and historical time lines (with a few grim moments) are
seamlessly interwoven and keep readers invested. Back matter
reveals that the tale was inspired by Nelson's grandfather,
accounting for the book's authentic, intimate feel. Nelson's first
middle grade novel is heartwarming and inspirational; a first
purchase."-School Library Journal Starred Review
