Synopsis: [from the back cover] "Do you believe in miracles? Based on the original book by Emma Kragen, with over 500,000 copies sold! Twelve-year-old Emma needs a miracle or two. Her dad's lost his job, and she's been packed off to Doverville to live with a not-so-friendly family friend until her dad gets back on his feet. To make matters worse, the town has a strict no-dogs law--and Emma's just rescued a puppy. Emma soon finds a friend in Mike, whose mom runs a dog orphanage just outside the city limits, but the dastardly dogcatcher is determined to get every dog they save. And when they discover his plans for the captured canines, they know he must be stopped. Can Emma and Mike find a way to strike down this unfair law in time? They'll need help from their friends--and a few dogs--to pull it off. In this heartwarming novelization of the best-selling family film, kids learn that they can create a change for good--and that miracles really are possible!"
