The West Highland Terrier that brought Harvey Comes Home to life
returns with his tail wagging and his nose sharp, ready for a new
adventure Harvey the West Highland Terrier is back with his beloved
Maggie. He is also back at Brayside retirement home, where he and
Maggie now volunteer along with their friend Austin. There Maggie
is drawn to a new resident, Mrs. Fradette, who tells stories of
learning to fix cars as a twelve-year-old during the flood of 1950.
Mrs. Fradette, with her bold fashion and love of poker, doesn't fit
in among the beige-cardigan-wearing, bridge-playing ladies of
Brayside, but she doesn't seem to care. Maybe that's why Maggie
likes her so much. Since seventh grade began, Maggie hasn't been
fitting in well with her friends, either. Harvey has a problem of
his own. He can smell an intruder in his yard, and he needs to find
it. He is so intent on the nighttime fiend that he almost doesn't
notice how worried Austin is about his grandfather, who has been
Brayside's custodian for longer than Harvey has been alive. It
seems like the retirement home is planning to give the job to a
younger man, an injustice that Austin can't let pass unchallenged.
In intertwining perspectives, Colleen Nelson tells four stories of
individuals standing firm for what they know is right: Josephine
Fradette, insisting on her right to become a mechanic; Maggie,
certain that her friends' expectations shouldn't define who she
becomes; Austin, indignantly campaigning against ageism; and
Harvey, who has found his home at last and is determined to protect
it.
