Winner of the Newbery Medal: This quirky, heartwarming tale of a family searching for their missing dog is "absorbing... sure to please" (Kirkus Reviews).
Meet the marvelous Pyes. There's Mrs. Pye, the youngest mother in town. Mr. Pye, a famous bird man, who handles all the nation's important bird problems. Rachel Pye, who is so reasonable she can make unreasonable ideas sound like good ones. Jerry Pye, who knows about rocks of all sorts and plans to grow up to be a rock man. Uncle Bennie, who is Jerry and Rachel's uncle -- even though he's only three years old.
And then there's Ginger Pye -- the "intellectual dog" Jerry bought for a hard-earned dollar. The most famous pup in all of Cranbury, Connecticut, Ginger knows tons of tricks, is as loyal as he is smart, and steals the hearts of everyone he meets... until someone steals him!
