Strawberry Roan (Famous Horse Stories)
by Don LangNo one could keep the champion trotter, David Hal, in as good a mood before a great race as Roscoe. Roscoe had spent the nights before each race with the horse and he had won them all. When the time came for the Spring Handicap, Roscoe was not allowed to remain in the stall with the strawberry roan, and so began the romantic and varied life of the boy and the horse away from the racetrack. The circus, a farm, the grocery business--they tried them all, to find each had its good points and bad. There is humor in the characters and in the incidents. Florabella, the baby pig who insisted on going to church, Plug Ugly the cat, and the bantam rooster are as much a part of the story as the circus publicity man and the grocer who gives Roscoe and Strawberry a job. Here is a vivid picture of the close relationship between a great horse and an endearing young boy by an author who well understands both boys and animals.

Stray
by Stacey GoldblattWhen 16-year-old Natalie Kaplan meets a new person, she knows right away what kind of dog they'd be. Natalie herself resembles an Ibizan hound--quiet, playful, loyal, smart, and above all, obedient. Actually, Natalie has been trained so well that sometimes she thinks her mother is secretly controlling her with a dog whistle. (Her mom is a respected veterinarian with a successful clinic, so it's not that much of a stretch.)Just like the Ibizan, Natalie is very mindful of her master's rules, but at the first sign of freedom, she is prone to stray. And who can blame her when the gorgeous and mysterious Carver Reed comes to live with the Kaplan family for the summer? Little by little, Natalie is drawn to Carver's spontaneity and free spirit, and before long, she turns into another breed of girl, who surprisingly bites the hand that feeds her."Stray is a winning novel that provides us with an important reminder: it's okay to make mistakes and break the rules, especially when it comes to love."--Maureen Johnson, author of 13 Little Blue EnvelopesFrom the Hardcover edition.

As hard as they try to make Grub feel at home, it's just not working. Could he already have a family of his own? Maybe he isn't really a stray, after all--just lost. But how on earth will they be able to find his family when he seems to come from somewhere . . . out of this world?
The Stray and the Strangers
by Steven HeightonBased on a true story, a stray dog befriends an orphan boy in a refugee camp on a Greek island. The fishermen on Lesvos call her Kanella because of her cinnamon color. She’s a scrawny, nervous stray — easily intimidated by the harbor cats and the other dogs that compete for handouts on the pier. One spring day a dinghy filled with weary, desperate strangers comes to shore. Other boats follow, laden with refugees who are homeless and hungry. Kanella knows what that is like, and she follows them as they are taken to a makeshift refugee camp. There she comes to trust a bearded man, an aid worker, and gradually settles into a contented routine. Kanella grows healthy and confident. She has a job now — to keep watch over the people in her camp. One day, a little boy arrives and does not leave like the others. He seems to have no family and, like Kanella, he is taken in by the workers. He sleeps on a cot in the food hut, and Kanella keeps him warm and calm. When two new adults come to the camp. Kanella is ready to defend the boy from them, until she is pulled away by the bearded man. They are the boy’s parents, and now he must go with them. Eventually, the camp is dismantled, and Kanella finds herself homeless again. Until one night, huddled in the cold, she awakens to see two bright lights shining in her eyes — the headlights of a car. The bearded man has come back for her, and soon Kanella is on a journey, too, to a new home of her own.
