(2) 4-6 In WWII-era New Orleans, polio survivor Fish rescues a stray dog. White Fish's friendship with his African American neighbor, Olympia, feels natural, the two having bonded over the dog's welfare. He also gets help from seventeen-year-old Erich, a German POW whose story is told in intermittent chapters. Larson's historical setting comes alive with vivid details and draws readers in with a heartfelt dog-and-child relationship.
