Angus and Sadie

Newbery Medalist Cynthia Voigt presents this charming middle grade novel about two border collie puppies growing up on a farm-a brother and sister who couldn't be more different from each other...or so they think. "Voigt's touch with dogs is as deft as it is with humans, " raved The Horn Book. Angus and Sadie are siblings, but that doesn't mean they're the same. Angus is black-and-white and bigger.
He is a good, brave, and clever dog-and he likes that. Sadie, on the other hand, is red-and-white and small. She isn't as quick to learn-or to obey. Angus thinks she's scared of everything, but Sadie knows that's not true. She's just different. This heartwarming story of two wonderful border collie siblings growing up on a farm in Maine is perfect for young readers who enjoyed Ann M. Martin's A Dog's Life and John Grogan's Marley books, animal lovers of all ages, and anyone who's ever had-or wondered what it would be like to have-a brother or sister just like themselves, but very, very different.
