Wondrous Rex

Newbery medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan weaves a sweet and funny tale about a magical dog named Rex, and how he comes to the aid of seven-year-old Grace and her writers block. Complete with black-and-white interior illustrations, this is sure to become another modern-day classic. Now in paperback.

Graces aunt Lily is a writer. She works with words every day and teaches Grace interesting words like melancholy and delirious. But Lily is often flummoxed by her own writing. Her stories dont go anywhere, her desk is a mess, and her writers group cant help.

So Lily posts an ad for an assistant.

The next day, Grace opens the door, and there is Rex: a Labrador Retriever who will change Graces life, and Lilys. The word amazing is an everyday word for Rex, who inspires Lily, and helps Grace find the words to write her own story.
