Filled with delightful oddball characters and heroic escapades, The Adventures of Daring Dog is a magical and inspiring tale for children of all ages.
Ten-year-old Sam Harris experiences life from a wheelchair, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the Crabs gang always bullying him. After all, his dad is a brilliant inventor. Plus, his family has Archie, a life-size robot "housekeeper." How many kids can say that?
But the best thing that ever happened to Sam started out with a very sad discovery: upon exiting the hospital, Sam and his dad find Daring, a bloodhound, lying lifeless in the parking lot. They rush the dog to eccentric vet Hannah Sunshine Trout and hope for a miracle.
Someone with a bit of fairy dust seems to be paying attention, because when Daring wakes up from surgery, she's not only alive-she can fly!
But the crazy adventure has only just begun for Sam and his dog friend. They have lessons to learn, secrets to uncover, and people to save.
The Adventures of Daring Dog will keep readers laughing, while also reminding of love's power to heal.
