The Dog Ray
By: Linda Coggin
Synapsis
Daisy, age twelve, has died a swift death in a car accident. She finds herself in the afterworld, which resembles nothing more than a job center. Her soul is being returned to Earth, but not as a human - she's returning as a dog. A dog who is determined to get back to her parents and get back home.
Linda Coggin's incredible novel is by turns funny, poignant, and moving, depicting a nuanced and unique portrait of death, love, grief, and hope that is sure to stay with readers long after the story is is done.
A.M.R's Review
I recently picked up this book on the shelf of my library. I have always been an animal lover. Even though I had enough books already, there was just something about this book that intrigued me. So I picked it up and began to read it. I managed to finish it in a day or so and found the novel absolutely wonderful, it was funny and cute, but also sad. It talked of a girl who has died, however she had unfinished business to do, so she becomes a dog, at first she has a life not so great, but then in due time she begins to wonder what her purpose is that she was sent back for. I won't tell you anymore but that, however I will tell you that I would read it again in a heartbeat.
(Note, this book was an Advanced Reading Copy, it is due to be released in November of 2016)
