My Dog
Über dieses Hörbuch
A life-affirming story of the extraordinary friendship between a boy and his dog. Perfect for fans of Hannah Gold, Katya Balen and Patrick Ness
THE STORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDSHIP.
Ten-year-old Rhys really loves dogs. When he finds a lost black Labrador with big conker eyes and ears like soft velvet, he can’t quite believe his luck. Nobody comes forward to claim Worthington, giving Rhys the perfect opportunity to prove he’s a good owner. But when Rhys moves to London to live with his estranged dad who hates dogs, Rhys decides to keep Worthington secret.
Struggling to connect with his dad in a new city, Rhys takes comfort in Worthington. But he soon discovers that looking after a secret dog is anything but easy, and he knows that before long he’ll have to confront his fears and find a way to tell Dad . . .
Phenomenally moving and beautifully written, My Dog shows us that accepting the present doesn’t mean forgetting the past – in a story that will live with you for ever.
Autoren-Profil
Olivia Wakeford writes a lot about grief, which really means she writes about love. And dogs: every story should have a dog in it! Olivia has worn many job hats over the years: she has worked in the film and television industry, been a scriptwriter, dog-walker, PA and much more, but her favourite is writing novels for children. Olivia graduated with distinction from the MA in Writing for Children at Bath Spa University in 2022, she can ride a unicycle (badly) and is addicted to salt and vinegar crisps. She was born in Wales and now lives in London with her husband and their socially awkward Labrador, Obi.
My Dog is her debut novel.
