Rascal may be the happiest beagle ever to live. He used to live on Voclain s Farm, with its whole jambalaya of dogs, but now he lives with his very own boy, Meely. Together they explore the Louisiana bayou, bunny chasin, coon and squirrel huntin, and crawfishin . But when Meely gets stuck on a rotting bridge deep in the bayou, it s up to Rascal with a little help from his old friends at the farm to save his boy from danger.
In the spirit of "Huckleberry Finn, " "Rascal" is a classic coming-of-age story, but from a dog s perspective. With unforgettable characters, heart-stopping action, and charming black-and-white line drawings that capture it all, this zesty gumbo of a book is one to savor long after it is finished.
