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).

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.

“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
