The Dog that Saved the World (Cup) by Phil Earle

emotional hopeful inspiring sad fast-paced

5.0

 My god, this is a gorgeous story. A dog and his family. They’re not a well-off family and when football is the only joy in Elsie’s life, Pickles has to do everything he can to save her smile. So much I loved about this: representation of poor families, girls in football, England actually being good at football (ha!) The portrayal of dad’s struggles with bills really made me sad... but I think it’s so important to have these stories!
