Have you ever wondered what your dog is thinking? Meet one funny dogEnzo, the lovable mutt who tells this story. Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: most dogs love to chase cars, but Enzo longs to race them. He learns about racing and the world around him by watching TV and by listening to the words of his best friend, Denny, an up-and-coming race car driver, and his daughter, Zo, his constant companion. Enzo finds that life is just like being on the racetrackit isn't simply about going fast. And, applying the rules of racing to his world, Enzo takes on his family's challenges and emerges a hero. In the end, Enzo holds in his heart the dream that Denny will go on to be a racing champion with his daughter by his side. For theirs is an extraordinary friendshipone that reminds us all to celebrate the triumph of the human (and canine) spirit. This is a special adaptation for young people of the acclaimed New York Times bestselling adult novel The Art of Racing in the Rain.

I received this amazing package today from @Tattooedteacher ! Thanks so much! This book, which is the middle grade version of a book for adults, sounds delightful! And the tea smells delicious. Thank you!

A productive month of horror, scifi, and gut-wrenching, soul-searching memorable fiction. With a little bit of "easy reading" and a scientific, nonfiction book to finish out the list. #whatIread #bookworm #December2016 ??????

This was an adaptation for young readers, and so I finished it in a single evening. But even if it wasn't, once I started I couldn't put it down. Be prepared to have your heart be full of love. And be prepared to cry, because the last few chapters I finished reading with tears streaming down my face. But they were happy tears. For the love of a dog for his human, and the love of a man for his daughter, and his fight to achieve his dreams. 5/5 😍💙

"To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live. To feel the joy of life... To separate oneself from the burden, the angst, the anguish that we all encounter every day. To say I am alive... That is something to aspire to." ??

Starting off @DeweysReadathon with Racing in the Rain. Been on my #TBR list for awhile, I'm excited to see what the hypes about!
