Scout and the Rescue Dogs

  • Interest Level: Grade 3 - Grade 6
  • Reading Level: Grade 5

The summer holidays have finally arrived, and Scout can’t wait for her adventure in the big rig with Dad.

After Mom died, life hasn’t been the same. But now Dad and Scout are on a mission to deliver donations of dog food to animal rescue shelters right across the state. There will be lots of music, dad-jokes, and a brilliant plan that will make sure everyone’s got a friend for the holidays. There might even be a special four-legged friend in it for Scout. But Scout and her dad get more than they’ve bargained for. It’s bushfire season—and it’s not just the dogs who need rescuing . . .

This moving, hopeful, and heartwarming story is set against the 2019-2020 Australian bushfires.
