Dogspell

When Sally needs a friend, her mom wants to build her a computer with a wig. But Sally wants a friend who's real--a friend who's, you know, alive.

What she gets is a friend for life. (Adventure too, which, by the way, begins with an 'A.')

DOGSPELL - OR - SALLY & SEEMORE & THE MEANING OF MUSHKI is a perfect book for kids, dogs, and those who love kids and dogs, and, of course, for anyone who's ever wondered about the meaning of mushki.

Written and much illustrated by Karin Gustafson.
