"Sea Dog“
“Sea Dog” by Dayle Campbell Gaetz. UnCovered review by Margie Gerety, ACLS Egg Harbor Township Branch
This is a wonderful story about a boy who finds an almost drowned dog washed up on a beach after a storm. The boy has been going through a rough time in his life, and the dog brought something for him to focus on as he helped to nurse her back to health. The story takes a twist when a man claims the dog as his and tells the boy and his mother how he got the dog and how special he has been in his life.
The book has a very good message, and I recommend it, especially for dog lovers like me! It is a nice easy-to-read story for our early readers of chapter books and children in our area can relate to the sea, storms, and finding treasures on the beach. The reading level A/R is 2.7.
