Ghost Dog Secrets by Peg Kehret
Rusty sees a dog chained to a tree with no food or water or shelter from the pouring rain. He visits several times bringing food and water. When he tells his friend Andrew about the dog, they decide on a plan to rescue him and hide him in their old fort. But a dog is a hard secret to keep --what will they do if their parents find out or even worse Ra's former owner? MS dogs, activism, abuse, ghosts, friendship
What I liked: The story moved pretty quickly and there weren't very many twists and turns. It explored issues of social justice and the difficulty of doing the right thing. Bonus: directions for knitting cat blankets for shelter cats
Who should read it: dog lovers, those who are interested in social issues and advocacy
