Everything For a Dog by Ann Martin


A companion novel to Martin's A Dogs Life, this book begins with three alternating and seperate narratives-Charlie's, Henry's, and dog Bone's. Charlie's story begins with the pain of attending his dead brother's eight-grade graduation ceremony while Henry's story starts with his Christmas list of "everything for a dog," giving the book its title. Bone, brother of a A Dog's Life Squirrel, is orphaned and is in need of a family. Martin interweaves each narrative into a powerful story about persistence and the need for companionship and connection.
