Naomi's dog Diesel returns from the afterlife with one mission - can he save her?

It's Naomi's worst summer ever. Her dog, Diesel, died. Dad lost his job. Mom and Dad split up. The family is broke, and Naomi is stuck babysitting when she planned to take swimming lessons. Then Naomi's sometime-friend Morgan convinces her to jump off a dock. On July 1 at precisely 4:30, when Naomi drowns, destiny shifts.

Naomi awakes a week earlier to Diesel talking to her. Through his canine counsel, he wants to show her how to fix things. "I can save you," he barks. But no matter how often Naomi resets her watch, the time and date keep flipping back to July 1 at 4:30, which makes her wonder: Is my time running out?

Industry Reviews

A lovely story about the messiness of families and learning to trust and believe in yourself. Most of all, it's a story about friendship - both the two- and four-legged kind. * Susin Nielsen, author of Tremendous Things *
Sylvia McNicoll has once again crafted a story filled with heart. An entertaining story about finding friends - human and furry - who see the real you. * Colleen Nelson, author of Harvey Comes Home *
I can't think of a category of reader who won't love this book. Sylvia McNicoll has done it again. * CM Magazine *
