Dog Days

The touching story of a boy with two passions in life – playing baseball and caring for the stray dogs he takes in. When a red stain appears on an alley wall, and Larry’s little brother meets a dog who, unusually, won’t let him get near, he must unravel the mystery. Readers will warm to the poignant relationship between Larry and his brother Paul, as well as Larry’s love of baseball and dogs. The satisfying solution to this gentle mystery is unexpected, well-thought out and will keep reluctant readers turning the pages to the end.

‘Lubar has given parents and teachers of reluctant male readers something to cheer about…’ Kirkus Reviews
