Description: Fourteen-year-old Chad Holloway has built a stone wall around his hurt since his beloved dog Shep was hit by a car and his grandfather presumed to end the dog's misery with a bullet. Nothing is even tolerable now. Not Chad's family, not his hobbies, and certainly not Queenie, the family's annoying new dog, who can never ever replace Shep . . . no matter what anyone says. Then suddenly there's another newcomer to contend with, a good-natured outsider who trains animals in amazing ways. He calls himself a "shaper, " and he wants Chad's -- and Queenie's -- help. But will Chad give it? And will he let this shaper (and his beautiful sixteen-year-old daughter) help him to heal his own heart? Part coming-of-age, part boy-and-dog story, part romance, this is exciting new fiction from Jessie Haas.
