A Dog Called Jack

Ivy Pembroke

It's a winter of joy on Christmas Street . . .Jack is one lucky dog, adopted by the families of every house on Christmas Street. Or is it the other way around? For Sam, a widower recently returned to London, Jack is Christmas Street's unofficial welcoming committee. For Sam's young son, Teddy, the small, scruffy mutt is a much-needed friend.But Christmas Street isn't what it used to be. Just ask Bill, the street's oldest, grumpiest resident. He remembers when everyone knew and looked out for each other. Now, people live side by side, scarcely interacting.As Sam and Teddy settle in, Jack's four-legged charm brings the neighbors of Christmas Street closer together. And with the season's first snow comes a sense of new beginnings. But it will take a small act of kindness to transform Christmas Street into a wonderland of lasting memories . . ."Heartwarmingly festive-if only all streets were like Christmas Street!"Ali McNamara, author of The Summer of Serendipity"Jack the dog will melt your heart.
