DogStar

Beverley Wood and Chris Wood

This bestselling title has been a favourite among readers and critics alike since its original publication in 1997. The compelling and fast-paced DogStar is available again in this fabulous updated and redesigned edition.

Juneau, Alaska, 1933. This is where 13-year-old Jeff Beacon finds himself stranded when his parents take him on a cruise to help him get over the death of his beloved dog, Buddy. The problem: Jeff doesn’t belong in frontier Alaska. Why has he been transported back in time? And how can he find his way home? Jeff must answer these questions quickly—and his only help is the town’s bull terrier, Patsy Ann.

DogStar is an “Our Choice” CCBC, a New York Public Library “Book of the Teen Age,” was shortlisted for the OLA Silver Birch Award and the Dog Writer’s of America Award.
