Ginger Pye
by: Eleanor Estes

"He steals the hearts of everyone until someone steals him."

The Pye family buys a fox terrier collie mix puppy for a $1! The family names their adorable puppy Ginger Pye. He is the smartest dog you've ever met, some consider him an "intellectual dog." Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes 306 pages, is perfect for dog-lovers and children about 8 and up.

I would reccomend Ginger Pye to dog-lovers, children, and people who like suspense. It's suspenseful when the Pye's are looking for their dog, but their leads fail. There really isn't anything bad about the book except it can be wordy. Also, It's a long book so it may get boring. I personally found the book captivating. It's in my top 10. I really enjoyed reading it, it was hard to put down.

This realistic fiction novel's theme is pereverance. Jerry and his little sister Rachel never stop trying to find Ginger Pye. Even when all hope is lostfor the town, they continue their search. Months and months passed before they figured out who stole their dog.More months passed before thy could find where their dog was. These perserveering kids never gave up, and they finally found their beloved, stolen dog.
