    About this ebook

    A heartwarming canine adventure series for boys and girls aged 6+. Perfect for fans of Holly Webb and Michael Morpurgo.

    This is the story of one brave dog's journey home.

    Rascal is hot and thirsty, and still miles from his owner Joel. The woods are tinder-dry, and when careless campers start a forest fire, Rascal must fight to save not only himself, but a frightened and lost little girl.

    Packed with entertaining illustrations from James De La Rue. Fans of Morpurgo's Shadow will love this.

      CHAPTER 1

      The sun had passed its noontime high point in the sky, but it still beat down fiercely. The shade of the forest offered Rascal little protection from its heat. Even the strong wind was hot and dry and gave no relief from the sun’s rays. More than anything in the world, Rascal wanted water right now – a long, cool drink of delicious water. He was hungry too, of course, but he could get along without food for now – he’d had a lot of practice at that recently, after all. But no living thing could survive long without water. If he didn’t get a drink soon, he would be unable to take another step.

Whenever he felt as if he couldn’t go on, the thought of who waited for him at journey’s end spurred him on. Joel!

It had struggled for too long without a drop of rain in this scorching summer. For days Rascal had thought that the drought would end, but somehow he always seemed to run ahead of the bank of clouds to
