The funny, touching story of an unlikely friendship from master storyteller
Colin Thompson
George lives with his grandmother and a big empty space where his
mother and father should be.
One Friday on his way home from school, George visits the animal
shelter. There, in the very last cage, is Jeremy, a sad dog who looks
as lost and lonely as George feels.
When Jeremy comes home to live with George and his granny, their whole
lives change, and they learn that when it comes to love, it's quality
not quantity that counts . . .
