(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Amy June Bates. Sara Barker, nine, has been terrified of dogs ever since she was small. When Ms. Harrington, a new neighbor with two dogs, falls and breaks her leg, Sara runs into the yard next door, where the dogs stay, to help her. Rodowsky makes Sara's fear palpable and her eventual road to recovery believable. Plentiful pencil illustrations add to the book's accessibility.
