Description
Star is a heartwarming middle grade adventure story about an unlikely friendship between a rescue dog and her new owner. After losing her elderly owner, Star, a deaf Australian shepherd, finds comfort in the care of a local shelter. There, she meets Julian, a shy boy who forms a special bond with her.
As their relationship grows, Julian and Star become inseparable companions. However, when funding for the shelter dries up, they face an uncertain future. To save Star, Julian must prove himself capable of caring for a dog like her, while also staying out of trouble at school.
This uplifting tale explores the transformative power of friendship and loyalty, as Julian and Star work together to overcome challenges and find a way to stay together forever.
