Diamond Willow (YA)


Diamond Willow (YA) (4.5/5)

This is a verse novel and tells the story of Willow, an almost 13 year old girl who is feeling lonely. Willow takes her dog sled to her grandparent's house. Roxy, one of the sled dogs, gets hurt on the way home and Willow feels responsible for it. When her parents decide to put Roxy to sleep, Willow decides to take action to save her.

This book is a good, quick read. I think both boys and girls would like it. It could be a read-aloud for upper ES students, and would work nicely as well for MS students.
