Abstract
This sequel to Beverly Cleary's beloved Newbery Medal-winning classic, Dear Mr. Henshaw, stars Strider, a dog who loves to run.
Description
Can a stray dog change the life of a teenage boy? It looks as if Strider can.
He's a dog that loves to run; because of Strider, Leigh Botts finds himself running—well enough to join the school track team. Strider changes Leigh on the inside, too, as he finally begins to accept his parents' divorce and gets to know a redheaded girl he's been admiring.
With Strider's help, Leigh finds that the future he once hated to be asked about now holds something he never expected: hope.
