Beskrivning
The child narrator of A Different Dog can't speak - we assume it is from a disability or a reaction to a trauma in his past. He is teased by the other kids and is a loner. On a cold winter's day, when everyone is participating in a fun run on the mountain, our narrator finds himself alone at the scene of a car accident where the driver has died. But there is a little dog in the car... What follows is a moving story of survival and redemption (and somehow humour in the midst of all that), all told in a 96-page novella.

Mer om författaren

Paul Jennings is one of Australia's most loved and best-selling authors, with over 100 books to his credit. He has won every children's choice award in Australia, but is probably best known in the UK for his story collections, including 'Unbelievable!', 'Unreal!' and 'Unseen', published here by Puffin, which were the basis of the top-rating TV series 'Round the Twist'. Paul is also well known for catering to the slower readers out there - by writing more sophisticated subject matter in short, clear sentences that add up to beautiful short reads for reluctant readers. This is one such story.

Recensioner i media

This is a quietly compelling, and with afterthought, immensely powerful tale... an accomplished text, which draws in reluctant readers and gets across a plethora of not just emotions, but moral dilemmas and extraordinary situations... belonging, speaking up for what's right, finding peace in friendships, and how sometimes the strongest communication is that without words.
