Podrobnosti o e‑knize
From a Newbery Honor author, a white boy and black girl bond in World War II Louisiana as they rescue a dog in this "practically perfect" historical novel ( Kirkus Reviews).
With his dad serving in World War II in Europe, and his sister working at the Higgins Boat factory to support the war effort, Fish Elliot fights off loneliness. That is, when he's not fending off his annoying neighbor, Olympia, who has a knack for messing up Fish's inventions. But when his latest invention leads Fish to Liberty, a beautiful stray dog who needs a home, he and Olympia work together to rescue her. His growing friendship with Olympia, who is African American, is not the norm in 1940s New Orleans. But as they work together to save Liberty, he finds his perceptions of the world—of race and war, family and friendship—transformed.
"Larson . . . creates an engaging story that is rich in historical details. She purposefully captures both the fear and the hope in a world torn by war as well as the simple love of a boy for his dog. Practically perfect." — Kirkus Reviews
"A slice-of-life tale for historical fiction fans and animal lovers alike." — School Library Journal
