Hurry Home, Candy FROM THE PUBLISHER The dog was lost. He had no name, and no one to love him. He has only the silent, empty countryside, and a few crumbs and bare bones he could pick up. He had only himself, and he was afraid. Along the way, the little dog found a few friends, people who gave him shelter for a while, but always he moved on — until he found a place he could call home forever.
FROM THE CRITICS New York Times one of the most original of present-day writers for chldren. . .
