Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Mavis Jeeter has never lived in one place long enough to have a real best friend. Mavis wants this home to be permanent - which means finding herself a best friend. Rose Tully doesn't quite fit in, and her closest friend is Mr. Duffy, but he hasn't been himself since his dog died. Henry has run away from home, but he craves kindness and comfort - and doesn't know where to look for them. When Mavis and Rose hatch a scheme to find Mr. Duffy a new dog, their lives and Henry's intersect - and they all come to find friendship in places they never expected.

Ivan is an easygoing gorilla. Living at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade, he has grown accustomed to humans watching him through the glass walls of his domain. He rarely misses his life in the jungle. In fact, he hardly ever thinks about it at all. Instead, Ivan thinks about TV shows he's seen and about his friends Stella, an elderly elephant, and Bob, a stray dog. But mostly Ivan thinks about art and how to capture the taste of a mango or the sound of leaves with color and a well-placed line.

Publisher's Summary
Eleven-year-old Charlie Reese has been making the same secret wish every day since fourth grade. She even has a list of all the ways there are to make the wish, such as cutting off the pointed end of a slice of pie and wishing on it as she takes the last bite.
But when she is sent to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to live with family she barely knows, it seems unlikely that her wish will ever come true.
That is until she meets Wishbone, a skinny stray dog who captures her heart, and Howard, a neighbor boy who proves surprising in lots of ways. Suddenly Charlie is in serious danger of discovering that what she thought she wanted may not be what she needs at all.
From award-winning author Barbara O'Connor comes a middle-grade novel about a girl who, with the help of a true-blue friend, a big-hearted aunt and uncle, and the dog of her dreams, unexpectedly learns the true meaning of family in the least likely of places.

Wishing Children Everywhere Grow Up WIth These Books
I liked everything about this story but most importantly, I love the themes that it advances from start to finish. Our children need to continually experience and witness true friendship, softheartedness, tenderness, leadership, strength, and courage in their youth. Howard is the perfect friend for Charly and visa-versa. Together, Howard’s strength rubs off on Charly. Bertha also shows Charly what it means to be an adult, without all the immature, selfish decisions and behaviors she is accustomed to from her biological parents. Jacqui contributes to Charley’s growth because she witnessed all the bad parenting that went on and was smart enough to appreciate all the limited good in the world; a vision that Charly admires and aspires to.
Highly recommend this book for children but for adults too. I screen the books we give to our children. This one is right on that top shelf next to Fish In A Tree, which is absolutely outstanding.

Beautiful, feel good story. Such a relatable tale of a girl and her troubles, and how she deals during prime adolescence.
I would recommend to students of upper grades and middle school. 4-8. The writing provides many opportunities for envisioning as well as text connections.
