Read the excerpt: "Maya pulled her raincoat tighter as she crossed the empty playground after school. Dark clouds rolled over the town, and thunder rumbled behind the hills. She stopped when she heard a faint bark near the storage shed. 'Who's there?' Maya called. A small brown dog peeked out, shivering. Maya knew her mother expected her home right away, but she couldn't leave the dog alone in the storm. She wrapped the dog in her scarf and hurried home. At first, Mom frowned at the muddy paws on the kitchen floor. Then she sighed, found an old towel, and said, 'Let's make a lost-dog poster after dinner.'
