National Book Award winner Pete Hautman explores a friendship like no other—and the universal truth that dogs make life better, especially for underdogs.

Evan doesn’t seem to fit in at school or at home. He goes out of his way to avoid attention. He sits at the back of the bus, keeps his head down in class, and keeps to himself. But when a burr-covered border collie—a survivor with a gut instinct about the Boy—starts following him around and joining him on his runs, Evan’s simple duck-and-dodge existence becomes a lot more complicated… a lot more like life.

Evolving from wary companions to steadfast friends, Evan and the dog run fast and far together, thwart an abusive dog breeder and the school bully, and find the courage to stand up for themselves and open up to those who matter most. Narrated in alternating viewpoints, this relatable contemporary novel with classic coming-of-age themes has all the hope, pathos, and emotional complexity that mark Pete Hautman’s books for middle-grade audiences—and is a deeply satisfying listen for animal lovers.

My two grandchildren ages 5&7 listened to this with me driving around . We found the story really gripping and interesting and gave us lots to talk about . The characterisation of the dog was good they loved learning about his tracking skills and senses . The kids were quirky and realistic with very different personalities and talents . We talked about this and we all liked Hanna the best ! A thoroughly enjoyable audio book .
