A Dog Called Homeless

I saw A Dog Called Homeless by Sarah Lean listed on a classmate's list of favorite books and got it from the library. It is about Cally, a young girl whose mother died and whose father doesn't talk about it. I keep trying to write a summary of the book, but the book jacket says it best: "When Cally Fisher says she sees her dead mother, no one believes her. The only other living soul who sees Cally's mom is a mysterious wolfhound who always seems to be there when her mom appears. And when Cally stops talking--what's the point if no one is listening"--how will she convince anyone that her mom is still with them or persuade her dad that the huge silver-gray dog is their last link with her?"

This was a beautiful book. I kept wanting to read to figure everything out, and the characters were endearing. The book made me full-on cry at the end, always the sign of a great book. I'm really busy in life right now, and most of my reading is for school, so if I actually take the time to finish a book I start, you know it's a winner.
