Tango

The Tale of an Island Dog

By Eileen Beha

Book Description

For fans of Dick King Smith comes a charming story for middle grade readers about a little dog lost-and found.

When a Yorkshire Terrier washes up on the shores of Prince Edward Island, his adventure is just beginning. Tango-the privileged pet of a Manhattan couple-will have to adjust to life in a rustic fishing village, make friends with a tribe of feral cats, rescue a runaway girl, and find his way home again…

“Tango is a winning protagonist, a noble soul in a diminutive body. Although there are few real surprises, readers will enjoy this beguiling, delicately told tale, which has a heart as big as its hero’s.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The themes of loyalty, courage, and belonging are effectively woven throughout the exciting plot twists of this animal fantasy.”–School Library Journal

“Misadventures of a pampered pooch on Prince Edward Island. Everyone loves a good dog story, right?” – St Paul Pioneer Press
