Different Dog

Paul Jennings is one of Australia's most loved and best-selling authors, with over 100 books to his credit. He has won every children's choice award in Australia, but is probably best known in the UK for his story collections, including 'Unbelievable!', 'Unreal!' and 'Unseen', published here by Puffin, which were the basis of the top-rating TV series 'Round the Twist'. Paul is also well known for catering to the slower readers out there - by writing more sophisticated subject matter in short, clear sentences that add up to beautiful short reads for reluctant readers. This is one such story.

This is a quietly compelling, and with afterthought, immensely powerful tale... an accomplished text, which draws in reluctant readers and gets across a plethora of not just emotions, but moral dilemmas and extraordinary situations... belonging, speaking up for what's right, finding peace in friendships, and how sometimes the strongest communication is that without words.
