Lila and Hadley by Kody Keplinger
5.0
I received this as an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Hadley is going to live with her sister while her mother is being sent to prison. Hadley is mad at her mom for doing bad things and she is mad at her sister, who abandoned her years ago and never looked back. Hadley's sister works with the local animal shelter training dogs and when Hadley is approached by a timid rescue, Lila, she is tasked with training Lila so that she can be adopted. Hadley and Lila are having trouble adjusting to their new lives. It becomes more difficult for Hadley as she continues to lose her sight. Hadley takes classes to learn how to navigate the world better as her sight decreases. In a pact with Lila, the two will "train" together.
This novel was super sweet. I loved both of the main characters and just wanted to hug them. This is a perfect middle grade novel. Keplinger has shown that she has chops in the children's section.
