A heartwarming canine adventure series for boys and girls aged 6+. Perfect for fans of Holly Webb and Michael Morpurgo.

This is the story of one brave dog’s journey home.

Rascal is a long way from home. He’s lost and alone, far away from his owner Joel. But when a strange boy rescues him from two dog catchers, Rascal realises that he might not be the only one who needs a little help . . .

Packed with entertaining illustrations from James De La Rue. Fans of Morpurgo’s Shadow will love this.
