Zoe’s house is always full of flying fur! Her mom rescues Great Pyrenees dogs until
they can find a safe and permanent home. Dogs are always coming and going,
except the one dog that is always with them, Kodi. Zoe and her
sister, Alice, love the dogs and get very attached to them. When the girls see
a car drop off a young boy at the house next door, they're instantly curious.
Out in the country new kids are rare. Zoe and Alice don’t learn much about the
new neighbor, just that his name is Phillip, and he's living with his aunt and
uncle for some unknown reason. It's hard to find out any information because Phillip won’t talk, but he does seem
to enjoy the company of Kodi. He also listens to the girls as they talk to him,
but he seems lost in his emotions and doesn’t want to let anyone in. Of course,
Zoe is curious about him and his reasons for not talking, but she agrees to
wait it out. When Phillip goes missing
during a major storm, everyone is frantic. To make matters worse, Kodi is
missing too. Where have they gone? Will Phillip ever let his emotions out and
tell the girls about himself? Why is he so afraid to talk to them. What will happen if Phillip and Kodi can’t be
found? If you're looking for a short
read with an emotional impact, this is the perfect book for you!
Has anyone else read White Fur Flying? Or have you read another book by Patricia MacLachlan? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
We were lucky enough to meet Patricia MacLachlan at the 2013 UCONN Children's Book Fair!
Happy Reading! ~L
