Abby Whistler, 11, and her Shetland sheepdog, Tam, are inseparable. After winning the Junior Agility Championship in a town 400 miles away from home, Abby puts her dog into his crate in the back of her mama’s truck. They are involved in a terrible accident when their truck swerves to avoid hitting a deer. Tam, stuck in his crate, is thrown into the raging ice-cold river and Abby ends up in the hospital. The two are forced apart by fate. Tam is injured and endures dangerous encounters in the wild, while Abby’s family moves to Nashville, TN. Months pass, and it seems like Abby and Tam will never be reunited. Will their love and strong bond beat the odds and bring them back together? Bobby Pyron’s story (Katherine Tegen Books, 2011) is told from the points of view of the girl and her dog by Emily Eiden and Chuck Carrington, who reflect their emotions and bring the characters to life. An excellent addition to audiobook collections.–Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City, UT
