By Beverley Wood and Chris Wood

Book Overview

DATELINE: JUNEAU ALASKA, 1933: When a grief-stricken teen chases a magic dog down an alley and ends up in frontier Alaska, he discovers that love is a bond that cannot be broken by time or distance - or even death. THE DOG: Patsy Ann was a real bull terrier known as the 'Official Greeter of Juneau' during the 1930s. Although she was deaf from birth, Patsy Ann 'heard' ships' whistles and greeted all new arrivals. Today, a bronze statue at the Juneau waterfront honors Patsy Ann.

Customer Reviews

Excellent!

Any responsible adult will read a book before passing it along to a child. Imagine my surprise when I actually enjoyed this one. A pleasure to find a book aimed at a younger audience that doesn't talk down to their age group and offers solid entertainment. Highly recommended, and more enjoyable than many of the books I've read for grown-ups recently. I may still pass this along to the intended recipient, then again, I might just keep it to read again...

Disney Productions should be all over this for a movie!

I read this book a couple of years ago, and to date, it still remains a favorite of mine...it's the good old fashioned clean fun and mystery that all ages can read and enjoy, and I would expect soon to see it made into a movie...the kind that doesn't have to be rated anything but excellent!

Way cool

You are on crack; this book was cool!! we have a bull terrer any my Mom got me this book for my birthday. I thought it would suck, but then it had time travel and treasure hunting and everything. I'm goimng to do a bok report on it.

A GREAT BOOK FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

ANY AGE WILL ENJOY THIS ADVENTURE (PARTICULARLY DOG LOVERS) A LAUGH, A TEAR AND LOTS OF ADVENTURE WITH A LITTLE OF THE "UNKNOWN" THROWN IN. GREAT BOOK WELL WORTH THE READ.

This book is a good read for dog lovers of ALL ages!

My wife and I read the first three chapters of Dogstar as offered on the Patsy Ann Web site and thought the book sounded like a great gift for our young (early teens) nephews. We ordered a copy for each and when they came in, we found ourselves sitting down with the book for a glance to refresh our memory of it before sending the copies on to the boys. Well, both my wife and I read the book cover to cover, and (despite being decidedly middle-aged) we enjoyed the thing immensely! We are here to testify that this little book, despite its obvious appeal to a young audience, is a darn good read. We've talked about it among ourselves at some length and we sincerely believe that the book is a must-have for dog lovers of any age.
