SANDY THE WONDER DOG
An unforgettable dog, an epic adventure
Sandy, a golden retriever puppy, has discovered a secret while living in the home of the Leóns, a farmworker family in central Wisconsin. She tucks it safely away, grows up, and lives a happy life.
But one night, everything changes. Bad news from far way forces a decision: Sandy, now fully grown, and her mate Bruno decide to leave with their four pups on a journey that soon goes very wrong. They find themselves lost in the wintery Rocky Mountains. The struggle to survive the snows and dangers will test each one to their limits.
But Sandy is no ordinary dog. She uses her secret and learns to rely on a cast of memorable characters along the way in the quest to find her human family again.
A tale of struggle, courage, and finding one’s family where least expected, Sandy the Wonder Dog is a serious adventure sure to keep children ages 6-11 (along with some of their parents and grandparents) reading well past their bedtime.
