Ever since her police officer father was killed a few months ago, Grace Abernathy hasn't wanted to do much of anything. She's pulled away from her friends, her grades are plummeting . . . it's a problem. The last thing Grace wants is to be dragged into her older sister Regan's plan to train a shelter dog as a service dog. But Grace has no idea how involved she'll get-especially when a mangy mutt named Rex starts talking to her. Has Grace gone off the deep end? Or might this dog be something really special-an angel? A spirit? Either way, he is exactly the therapy that Grace needs. (Source: Titlepeek.fsc.follett.com) Part comedy, part mystery, part family drama, part super-natural---this book has something for everyone. You’ll see why Grace had to listen to What the Dog Said.  (South Carolina Junior Book Award nominee 2015,  Prepared by: Mary Cockrell, James Island Middle School & St. Andrews Middle School, Mary_Cockrell@charleston.k12.sc.us)
