place to sleep. But, she learns, the most important thing is love.
So when Madeline Finn visits and animal shelter, she has lots of
questions about the dogs who live there. Do they get to play
outside? Do they get to sleep under blankets? Does anyone read to
them? Does anyone tell them they love them? Madeline Finn is
determined to help the shelter dogs. But can she find a way to make
each one of them feel special? With the help of some friends and a
few good books, she just may discover that even small people can
make a big difference.

even the menu on the ice cream van. Fortunately, Madeline meets
Bonnie, a library dog. Reading aloud to Bonnie isn't so bad. When
Madeline Finn gets stuck, Bonnie doesn't mind. As it turns out,
it's fun to read when you're not afraid of making mistakes. Bonnie
teaches Madeline Finn that it's Okay to go slow, to keep trying,
and to get support from a friend. A beautiful, reassuring, story
for all those struggling to read. Perfect accompaniment for the
'reading dogs' programmes used by many schools and libraries. Money
from the sales of the book will be donated to UK-based Pets As
Therapy charity.

St. Michaels, Maryland, is a town of shipbuilders whose reputation
for crafting powerful schooners carries far beyond the shores of
young America. And once the War of 1812 starts, that's not
necessarily a good thing. For the British have targeted the town as
part of their campaign to defeat America in its fight to maintain
its independence.
And now, in August of 1813 the British fleet is sailing up the
Chesapeake River to St. Michaels. The town's militia is assembled
but no one expects they can win the fight against the powerful
British cannons. Citizens are being evacuated and the town is in
turmoil.
All young Henry Middle wants to do is find his father amid the
chaos of the coming attack. The lanterns he carries will be of use
to the militia. As Henry works to conquer his rising fear, he
realizes he may hold the answer to outsmarting the British in his
very hands.
