About this audiobook

Fans of Pax and A Dog’s Way Home will love this heartwarming story of a girl living in a shelter and the homeless dog she’s determined to reunite with his family.

Piper’s life is turned upside down when her family moves into a shelter in a whole new city. She misses her house, her friends, and her privacy—and she hates being labeled the homeless girl at her new school.

But while Hope House offers her new challenges, it also brings new friendships, like the girls in Firefly Girls Troop 423 and a sweet street dog named Baby. So when Baby’s person goes missing, Piper knows she has to help. But helping means finding the courage to trust herself and her new friends, no matter what anyone says about them—before Baby gets taken away for good.

Told in alternating perspectives, this classic and heartfelt animal tale proclaims the importance of hope, the power of story, and the true meaning of home.

    Piper and her family end up in a shelter, but at least they have food to eat and roofs over their heads, even if her dad has to stay in a separate building. They are better off than others, like the lady who has to sleep in the park because she has a dog. When Piper finds out that this women who is named Jewell has gotten seriously ill and been taken to the hospital, she worries about her little dog Baby. How will he survive on his own? And how can Jewell get better without her best friend beside her? Can 11 year old Piper do anything to help? This story of hope shows no matter how little we have, we each can still help others. Grades 5-7
