When a neighborโs big, scary dog goes missing, it seems like only Marisol is worried heโs up to no good. But is there more to this lost-dog story than meets the eye?
From Newbery Medalโ and Newbery Honorโwinning author Erin Entrada Kelly, Only Only Marisol Rainey is a young middle-grade novel about friendship, facing your fears, and the power of compassion, friendship, and empathy.

ย A dangerous beast is on the loose in Marisol Rainey's neighborhood! At least, Marisol thinks itโs a dangerous beast. She's never actually met the neighborโs dog officially, but surely a big German shepherd canโt be anything else. Thatโs why she and her BFF Jada nicknamed him โDaggers.โ
When the Missing Dog posters around town reveal that his real name is Gregory, Marisol's fears donโt ease up one bit. He may be Gregory at home, but when heโs freely roaming the neighborhood with nothing to hold him back, heโs Daggers and nothing else.
When Marisol tries to sleep, the image of Daggers and his sharp teeth comes to mind. Marisol doesn't even want to ride her bike anymore. What if Daggers leaps out of the bushes, knocks her over, and eats her? She feels like she canโt rest until she knows Daggers has been returned to her neighborโs backyard. Strangely, no one else seems all that concerned for their safety. Only Marisol.
Is Daggers big and super scary looking? Maybe. Is Marisol afraid? Surely. Will she eventually learn that thereโs more to Daggers than meets the eye? Only if she faces her fears.
Only Only Marisol Rainey is told in short chapters, making it perfect for listeners ready for a short and accessible novel. Erin Entrada Kellyโs stand-alone companion to Maybe Maybe Marisol Rainey and Surely Surely Marisol Rainey celebrates the small but mighty Marisol, the joys of friendship, the power of compassion, and the triumph of persevering. For readers of Kevin Henkes, Andrew Clements, Judy Blume, and Beverly Cleary.
