About this ebook

From W. Bruce Cameron, the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel A Dog's Purpose, which is now a major motion picture!

Ellie's Story is a heartwarming illustrated novel adapted for young readers from the beloved and New York Times bestselling A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron.

Ellie is a very special dog with a very important purpose. From puppyhood, Ellie has been trained as a search-and-rescue dog. She can track down a lost child in a forest or an injured victim under a fallen building. She finds people. She saves them. It's what she was meant to do.

But Ellie must do more. Her handlers—widowed Jakob, lonely Maya—need her too. People can be lost in many ways, and to do the job she was born to do, Ellie needs to find a way to save the people she loves best.

Ellie's Story is an inspiring tale for young animal lovers. Adorable black-and-white illustrations by Richard Cowdrey bring Ellie and her world to life. A discussion and activity guide at the end of the book will help promote family and classroom discussions about Ellie's Story and the insights it provides about humankind's best friends.

Ratings and reviews

"Normally when you read from a perspective that has never actually been experienced by the writer it is not a good book." This book proves anybody who has ever said that wrong. I would highly request it if you want drama and a tear-jerker

I know a kid named Ellie that was abused by her mother Jennifer and was sent to My best friend Alexandra to take care of her and then Alexandra and her former boyfriend broke up and jacob was always a father to Ellie so Ellies heart was broken and she is having such a hard life .... So hard she ran away from Alexandra! By the way my name is samantha. Omg what was i talking about i mean the book looks awesome & soo cute i love dogs! Five stars! She has a dad named zac now!

I LOVED this book! I liked it because of the amazing description of everything from grass to much worse. Also it drew to my liking by the suspensefulness and dramatic parts. Of the work and dedication as well as the troubles of writing in a dog's perspective. Another reason I would say I liked it is because of how well they used in the drama and were still in dog p.o.v(Point of view). I would definatly recommend:)
