Stella by McCall Hoyle
5.0

This story was absolutely adorable. It is written from Stella's point of view and that makes it such a fun read. I think readers of all ages would love this book, even my 1st graders! Stella was a bomb sniffing dog that had some PTSD from a bad explosion that killed her handler (all explained in VERY kid friendly terms and not too scary). She is getting rehabilitated by an 11 year old girl and her dog training mom. Together they learn how to become more than just a mini trainer and traumatized dog. It is so heartwarming and lovely.
