Diamond Willow

109 pp. | Farrar/Foster | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-31776-8 $16.00
(2) 4-6 After an accident leaves her favorite sled dog, Roxy, blind, twelve-year-old Willow must transport Roxy to her grandparents for safe-keeping. The first-person, present-tense narrative is typeset in diamond shapes; bold-faced words at the heart of each diamond hold an additional nugget of meaning. Despite some misplaced mysticism, as a dog and dogsled story, the tale wears its knowledge gracefully.
