PJ Our Way Books That Feature Our Furry Friends
PJ Our Way readers love stories about animals, and we’re delighted to offer two of them this month: The Unexpected Adventures of C.A.T. and Rip to the Rescue. In honor of these delightful titles, we’ve got a list of PJOW reader favorites that feature dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and many more!
Aces Wild
by Erica Perl
Zelly dreams of having her first sleepover, but her dog, Ace, is flunking obedience school, and her parents won't let her have a sleepover with an untrained dog in the house. Her social life is about to be ruined! (This is the sequel to When Life Gives You OJ, but it also works well as a stand-alone novel.)
The Cats in the Doll Shop

Duck Dreams
by Elizabeth Segel

The Inquisitor's Tale
by Adam Gidwitz
The king of France has declared war against Jeanne, Jacob, William, and Gwenforte. Who will win — the king or three kids and their dog?
Letters to Leo

He barks, he plays, and he loves matzo balls!

Saving Hanno
by Miriam Halahmy

Turtle Boy

The War I Finally Won
by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
When war breaks out, Ada moves to the countryside with her younger brother and their guardian into a small cottage owned by the bossy Lady Thornton. Then Lady Thornton moves in, too, with her daughter, Maggie. With the arrival of Ruth, a German Jewish refugee, the cottage becomes even more crowded and uncomfortable. Luckily, Lady Thornton’s got beautiful horses for everyone to ride. Everyone except Ruth. Because she’s German.
