Um þessa rafbók

All Hal had ever wanted was a dog.

But a dog would damage the carpets in Hal's house, and so his parents refused to let him have one.

Then they discover Easy Pets, a convenient dog-rental agency.

Terrier Fleck arrives on Hal's birthday, but when he discovers that his dog must be returned, he runs away.

An irresistible adventure from a truly great and much-loved children's author that every dog-loving child will adore.
Perfect for fans of 101 DALMATIANS.
With lovely line drawings on each chapter head

Praise for One Dog and His Boy

"The late, great Eva Ibbotson's last novel does not disappoint. This perfectly pitched book is a eulogy to dogs. Only someone with a profound understanding and love for dogs could have written this moving book about the importance of love and friendship and the power of people and animals to provide it." BookTrust

"Readers who have grown to love Ibbotson's bighearted heroes and larger-than-life adventure stories will relish this final novel, published after her death in 2010." Publisher's Weekly

"Eva Ibbotson's final book is in essence a familiar story - a lonely boy desperate for a pet and a dog desperate to be loved, but this wonderful poignant story is also a critique of consumerism and a call for family values" Love Reading 4 Kids
