Everyone loves coming-home stories, especially when they include dogs
and happy endings! From Steven Carino and Alex Tresniowski comes Oliver
for Young Readers, a heartwarming and true story of a man searching for
a beloved lost dog and finding more than he'd ever hoped for.
When Steven Carino discovered his dog, Oliver, had been stolen from his
car, he knew he would do anything to get Oliver back. The friendly
Yorkie-Shih Tzu mix--with his bundle of black and brown hair, long
floppy ears, and big round eyes--had been Steven's companion during even
the loneliest days. But it took more than one man to bring Oliver home.
It took a community of friends and strangers who believed that love is
worth fighting for.
Oliver for Young Readers offers a story of good triumphing over
despair, a beautiful reminder that a little kindness can truly change
the world. This hardcover middle grade book:
- Is for ages 8 to 12
- Has a kid-friendly design and a four-page photo insert that features
Oliver and Steven
- Includes Oliver's "thoughts" during the journey and extra stories of
Oliver and Steven's adventures
- Is a great gift for dog lovers
- Has a companion book for adults: Oliver: The True Story of a Stolen
Dog and the Humans He Brought Together
Oliver for Young Readers is a story of good people--including
hardworking immigrants, wealthy suburbanites, car mechanics, deli
workers, old friends, close relatives, street cops, a dedicated TV news
reporter, and one very gifted hairdresser--offering help without asking
for anything in return. It's a story of near misses, false hopes, and
fresh leads ending in a joy-filled reunion on the streets of a rundown
New York neighborhood. It's a story of faith renewed and hope restored.
