Inspired by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel A Dog’s Way Home by W. Bruce Cameron, now a major motion picture!

Bella loves her boy, Lucas, who rescued her from an abandoned building. Even though she has to hide from the neighbors and learn boring games like No Barks and Go Home, there is nowhere she’d rather be than by Lucas’ side. Then one day Bella is picked up by animal control, and Lucas is forced to send her to a foster home far away.

Bella waits and waits for Lucas to come and get her, but days go by and he does not come. Finally, she realizes what she needs to do – she must Go Home to Lucas – and even four hundred miles of dangerous Colorado wilderness won’t get in her way.

Bella’s Story is a young reader version of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel A Dog’s Way Home by W. Bruce Cameron, which was made into a major motion picture from Sony Pictures. Includes heartwarming illustrations by Richard Cowdrey and a reading and discussion guide at the end of the book.

I buy these books for my 8 year old niece. She has two rescue dogs and is an avid reader. She has been reading double the number of books that the school recommends so the books might be better for children who are 9 or 10. The her dogs were dumped by breeders because they are mixed breeds. These are great stories and have gotten her interested in rescue.

I get excited every time Bruce releases another new book. He writes these books from the view of the dog. So innocent and sweet. This series is great for the young and the young at heart. If you like dog books where the dog lives this is the series to purchase. You will not be sorry and you may find that your children love to read. Try one of them today and you will be hooked.

I am young at heart and have loved every young adult book that Bruce has written!
I fell in love with Bella aka Shelby from A Dog’s Way Home. She was found in a landfill, became a movie star and currently a therapy dog.
If you are a fan of dog books I highly recommend this for any age.

Bella’s Story was always upbeat and positive. Even though the dog gets into some harrowing experiences, the dog narrator sees these event as adventures with lessons of love. I bought this book for some children who have a dog named Bella, but I loved it too! Lessons of hope, effort, and never giving up are great to be reading!
