Description:
<p><b><i>A powerful debut novel about a boy who must face his past before finding a way to move forward.</i></b></p>
<p>For thirteen-year-old Jakob, the summer is looking pretty bleak. His only friend has moved away and no one else seems to have any time for him - except the girl who lives downstairs. But she's a little weird. Then again, so is Jakob. A few months ago, he was in a car accident that killed both his parents, and though he can't remember exactly what happened, he can't stop turning it over in his mind. No wonder people leave him alone.</p>
<p>Then out of nowhere, a stray dog befriends Jakob. Together they begin to roam the city streets by night, discovering an exhilarating secret world where they can both taste a new kind of freedom. But as their nocturnal adventures take Jakob farther and farther away from the safety of home, the truth of that awful night begins to emerge.</p>
<p>Will he be strong enough to face it - and who will be there for him when he does?</p>
<p>Exploring the heartbreaking loneliness of grief with sensitive assurance, <i>Nobody's Dog</i> is a powerful and uplifting tale about family, love and survival, and finding friendship in the most unexpected places.</p>
