Perfect for fans of Katherine Applegate and Kate DiCamillo.Summer days drift by slowly in Meadville, South Carolina--that is, until Sherman the one-legged pigeon flies into town and causes a ruckus. First Stella, who's been begging for a dog, spots him on top of a garage roof and decides she wants him for a pet. Then there's Ethel and Amos, an old couple who sees the pigeon in their barn keeping company with a little brown dog that barks all night. The pigeon lands smack in the middle of Mutt Raynard's head, but he's the town liar, so no one believes him. And when Stella's brother Levi and his scabby-kneed, germ-infested friends notice the pigeon, they join the chase, too. Meanwhile, across town, Mr. Mineo has one less homing pigeon than he used to...Don't miss Barbara O'Connor's other heartwarming middle-grade titles:Wish Wonderland How to Steal a DogGreetings from NowhereBeethoven in ParadiseFame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester The Small Adventure of Popeye and ElvisHalfway to HarmonyDream
