Angus and Sadie

Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt presents this charming middle grade novel about two border collie puppies growing up on a farm--a brother and sister who couldn''t be more different from each other...or so they think. "Voigt''s touch with dogs is as deft as it is with humans," raved The Horn Book . Angus and Sadie are siblings, but that doesn''t mean they''re the same. Angus is black-and-white and bigger. He is a good, brave, and clever dog--and he likes that. Sadie, on the other hand, is red-and-white and small. She isn''t as quick to learn--or to obey. Angus thinks she''s scared of everything, but Sadie knows that''s not true. She''s just different. This heartwarming story of two wonderful border collie siblings growing up on a farm in Maine is perfect for young readers who enjoyed Ann M. Martin''s A Dog''s Life and John Grogan''s Marley books, animal lovers of all ages, and anyone who''s ever had--or wondered what it would be like to have--a brother or sister just like themselves, but very, very different.
