Book Title: From Wild to Mild: A Dog in Two Worlds by Sunny Weber Category: Middle-Grade Fiction (Ages 8-12), 196 pages Genre: animals/pets Publisher: Pups & Purrs Press Release date: August 23, 2019 Format available for review: print, ebook (mobi for Kindle) Tour dates: Nov 11 to Dec 2, 2019 Content Rating: G
"Sunny Weber takes readers on a remarkable journey between two worlds as we follow the puppy, Kaya, struggle to live and grow with a family of coyotes, and then experience returning to her role as a dog living with people. In addition to exciting adventures, challenges, and drama experienced by Kaya, we also learn about the differences between the animals, and their very different relationships to people.
As a biologist that works with coyotes and dogs, I appreciate the creative way Sunny distinguishes the two animals in such an engaging story. Highly recommended for young readers interested in dogs, coyotes, and the world through their eyes." Stanley D. Gehrt Professor of Wildlife Ecology Extension Wildlife Specialist School of Environment and Natural Resources Ohio State University "What a beautiful, heartwarming book! Sunny incorporates the stories of abused and neglected farmed animals to bring attention to their plight. Sunny does a wonderful job of telling the story of Kaya, a caring and compassionate dog who is forced to confront her values and make difficult decisions to follow her heart or to fit in. Kaya teaches us to have empathy for all animals, regardless of their species." Chrissy Dinardo Development Director Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary Erie, CO
Book Description:
Eight-week-old Australian Shepherd Kaya is kidnapped by a nasty coyote to be food for his mate and puppies. Instead, the loving mother raises Kaya with her own pups. But as hard as she tries, Kaya can’t completely fit in—she can’t kill prey or stay awake for night hunts. Why can’t she make herself a true coyote? Constantly criticized by her coyote father, Kaya finds support in her new mother and siblings. She also figures out how to contribute through teamwork with her brother and sister. Trapped by a dog rescue, Kaya re-enters the human world and learns the differences between how dogs and coyotes live. When freed to roam again, does she return to her forest freedom—or remain with her farm family? Can Kaya forever straddle between the Wild and the Mild?
EVEN THOUGH FROM WILD TO MILD IS A STAND ALONE BOOK, SUNNY WEBER IS OFFERING THE OTHER TWO BOOKS IN THE PUPS & PURRS SERIES FOR REVIEW. JUST SIGN UP WITH THIS FORM.
