Recounted in first-person (or first-canine), Spikey is a timeless account of loneliness and love. Loaded with tail-wagging warmth, this volume will be a welcome addition to bedtime proceedings or the perfect piece for ‘early readers’: simple, sweet and made to repeat. Either way—frolicking fun aside—the true pull of Spikey is perspective. In adopting the thoughts of an adoptee, one’s empathy is certain.
When Spikey and his siblings are abandoned by their human family, the world turns upside down. Despite a resilient mother’s efforts, life becomes increasingly difficult for the pack, and it begins to look like nobody wants them. Luckily, kindness lies in store, and, with it, a sprawling adventure—one that will carry the puppy protagonist through all manner of new experiences. Will he ever see his brothers and sisters again? Will he ever have a home of his own? You won’t want to miss the answer...
