Lila and Hadley

De: Kody Keplinger

Narrado por: Sandy Rustin

Hadley is angry about a lot of things: Her mom going to jail. Having to move to another state to live with her older sister, Beth, even though they haven't spoken in five years. Leaving her friends and her school behind. And going blind.

But then Hadley meets Lila.

Lila is an abandoned dog who spends her days just quietly lying around at the local dog rescue where Beth works. She doesn't listen to directions or play with the other dogs or show any interest in people. So when Lila comes and sits by Hadley (which is hardly anything, but it's more than she's done with others), Beth thinks maybe Hadley can help Lila. She tells Hadley they'll bring Lila home as a foster dog and she can teach her to follow commands, walk on a leash, and be more of a people dog so she's ready to be adopted.

Only working with Lila is harder than Hadley thought, and so is the mobility training she starts taking to help with her failing vision. It feels like Lila is too stubborn to train and that learning to use a cane is impossible. But unless Hadley can help Lila, she'll never be adopted into a home. If Hadley could just let go of her anger, she might be able to save Lila...and herself.

New York Times best-selling author Kody Keplinger weaves an unforgettable story about discovering true friendship, finding home, and the possibilities of forgiveness.

Touch your heart in every way ❤️❤️

I loved how it made me feel like I was in the story. Even though I can’t relate while listening I really understand Hadley and her feelings.

Puppy Love Heals

It was a cute story, though a little simplistic. Great book for kids around 8-12 years old. Taught lessons on kids feelings and good through tough times and positive ways to handle it. Thought the end was kind of abrupt.

Rooting for Hadley

I just finished listening to the audio. What a sweet story! Anyone who has ever been faced with a challenge and, especially, has had a beloved pet, dog, cat, rabbit, horse, what have you, will relate to Hadley as she tries to come to grips with the situations going on in her life.
Unfortunately for Hadley, she has a few situations happening to her that no child should have to face. She has people who love her but she is also twelve and is finding it difficult to handle these issues. She is continually calling things "stupid" and is rude but, as the story moves along, things do get better and her behavior toward others improves. She makes a friend and starts gaining a better outlook. She learns how to grapple with fears of what tomorrow will bring with a semblance of hope.

Good book

I love the person who was saying the book. She always changed her voice at the right time. This book is a lil depressing but overall I loved it!❤️
