معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
A beautifully woven story of a celestial being who finds himself banished to Earth in the form of a dog after being wrongly accused of a crime.
“Among the most rewarding novels available for readers of all ages.”—Publishers Weekly
“Hilariously drawn, and the whole impossible premise made to seem perfectly logical.”—The Horn Book
The Dog Star, Sirius, is tried—and found guilty—by his heavenly peers for a murder he did not commit. His sentence: to live on the planet Earth as a dog until such time as he can carry out a seemingly impossible mission—the recovery of a deadly weapon known as the Zoi. The first painful lesson Sirius learns in his lowly earthly form is that humans have all the power. The second is that even though his young mistress loves him, she can’t protect either of them from the cruelty of other humans. The third—and worst—is that someone is out there who will do anything to keep Sirius from finding the Zoi. Even if it means destroying Earth itself.
