Jack Russel terrier Fenway thinks life without a leash is way more fun. He doesn't need to wait on his humans, he can play chase with the other dogs, and he can brag about all of it to the canines next door. Being free also means he can ignore Hattie's calls for him to come. And in doing so, he can find himself alone and lost. Will such an experience change Fenway's thoughts about the dreaded leash? This is a delightful story told with gentle humor and well-developed characters. Young dog-lovers will especially enjoy reading from Fenway's point of view.
Publisher Summary
The little dog with the GIANT personality from Fenway and Hattie just knows he is meant to roam freely off-leash . . . but how can he get his short human to agree? One day on a hike, Fenway finally convinces Hattie to take off his leash so he can run free with other dogs, and as always, keep his humans safe from any squirrels. He has an amazing time and gets treats whenever Hattie calls his name!
But the next time Fenway is off leash, things don't go so well. Hattie calls right when Fenway is chasing the most dangerous squirrel in the forest. Then, suddenly, Hattie is missing.
Could it be that Fenway needs a leash to keep track of her?
With an easy reading level and lively illustrations, emerging readers will be eager to get their paws on the Make Way for Fenway! chapter books.
