All Hal had ever wanted was a dog. But a dog would damage the carpets in Hal's house, and so his parents refused to let him have one. Then they discover Easy Pets, a convenient dog-rental agency. Terrier Fleck arrives on Hal's birthday, but when he discovers that his dog must be returned, he runs away. An irresistible adventure from a truly great and much-loved children's author that every dog-loving child will adore. Perfect for fans of 101 DALMATIANS. With lovely line drawings on each chapter head.

Praise for One Dog and His Boy:

The late, great Eva Ibbotson's last novel does not disappoint. This perfectly pitched book is a eulogy to dogs. Only someone with a profound understanding and love for dogs could have written this moving book about the importance of love and friendship and the power of people and animals to provide it.

BookTrust:

Readers who have grown to love Ibbotson's big-hearted heroes and larger-than-life adventure stories will relish this final novel, published after her death in 2010. Publisher's Weekly:

Eva Ibbotson's final book is in essence a familiar story—a lonely boy desperate for a pet and a dog desperate to be loved, but this wonderful, poignant story is also a critique of consumerism and a call for family values. Love Reading 4 Kids
