Description

A tale about the joy found in using words, sharing stories, and loving a wondrous dog: Rex. Grace’s aunt, Lily, is a writer who is often 'flummoxed' by her writing. Her stories don’t go anywhere, her desk is a mess, and her writer’s group can’t help. So, Lily posts an ad for an assistant and meets Rex, a Labrador retriever who changes both Grace’s and Lily’s lives. Rex inspires Lily and helps Grace find the words to write her own story. This magical and funny tale is penned by Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan.
