"The Lucy books, such as this one, are much more than they seem at first glance. A dog story? Sure, but so much more. Bobby, the main character in these stories, grows in some way in each book. Here, Bobby must find the confidence to help get Lucy to the vet, to share his love for Lucy via poetry in front of an audience, and to become the big brother he will need to be. A gentle and delightful story in a series that is a winner for readers ready for chapters."
Be thankful for your furry friends in this story of a boy and his beagle!

Bobby has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. He might soon become a big brother, his grandmother is coming for a visit, and he's absolutely thankful for his mom's pies, especially the pumpkin ones. But the number-one thing Bobby wants to give thanks for? His dog, Lucy. Lately, though, Lucy hasn't been her usual frisky self. She's quiet. She seems unhappy. Is something wrong with Lucy?
