School Library Journal "This is a heartwarming story of a sweet
black lab mix named Maggie who is left behind when her owners move
away. Based on a true story of a group of fourth graders, this is
an inspiring story of social justice, action, and agency. The text
is accessible, and the illustrations of the animals are done in
photorealistic detail." Kirkus Reviews
"Based on a true story, this selection tells the story of an
abandoned dog and how a group of children fought to build a shelter
in order to save her. Realistic, detailed illustrations show Maggie
with longing, sorrowful eyes that follow readers through the pages.
A nice example of how empowered children can really make a
difference, this earnest, heartfelt selection will inspire children
to start their own efforts."
