Blue Daisy

Summary

A dirty, skinny dog shows up in Sam and Katies neighborhood. They start to follow it, and they dont like what they see: the Wilson sisters yell at the dog because it is digging in their garden and the Tracy twins chase it on their bikes and throw things at it. Sam and Katie want the dog to know theyll be its friends. They think it should have a name. Most of all, they want it to like them. But they make a big mistake, and after that, its hard to make things right. Because how can you apologize to a dog? Especially one that wont come near you. How they earn the dogs trust and help it find its place in their town, and how the dog gets its name, make for a heartwarming story told in two voices using prose and poetry.
