      About This Book

      The Newbery Medal Award–winning author "turns out an exemplary chapter book with this superbly structured work about a girl and her dog" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

      Tate is overjoyed when a scrawny mutt turns up in the yard one day. She even persuades Mam and Pap to let her keep Sable, named for her dark, silky fur. But before long, the dog begins to cause trouble with the neighbors and Mam and Pap decide the dog must go. But Tate doesn't give up easily . . . and neither does Sable.

      "An exceptional dog story—with a happy ending—whose length and pencil illustrations, one per chapter, make it attractive to young readers." —School Library Journal (starred review)
      "With a fresh narrative voice, thoughtfully developed characters, and its surefire Lassie-Come-Home ending, a fine early chapter book." —Kirkus Reviews
      "A rewarding early reader." —Booklist
