About this ebook
Born in a puppy mill, Ginger the golden retriever looks back on her life and the various people who have "owned" her. Abruptly separated from her mother, littermates, and the wire cage that was her whole world, Ginger is shuttled from one harrowing situation to another until she finally escapes, living as an outlaw with a pack of wild dogs. But freedom doesn't feel so good once she becomes hungry and cold and sick. Will Ginger ever find a furever family to call her own? With realistic black-and-white illustrations by renowned illustrator Tim Jessel, and an appendix featuring information about puppy mills, breed rescue groups, animal shelters, choosing a pet, and the history of golden retrievers, dog-crazy early middle-grade readers will beg for more!

This book was amazing. I absolutely loved it and would give it a five star rating. Kate Klimo really puts hard work and great effort into her books and the illustrations are beautiful. It's very upsetting when Ginger is abruptly separated from her family but in the end she finds somebody who really will take her in forever and the girl next door, Emma, is the new owner of Ginger's brother, Fred. It was a bit short though and it would be nice if t had a bit of an extension to it. I picked this up at my library and I would definitely recommend it to you. It had an amazing description from Ginger's view.
