Dog Friday by Hilary McKay
5.0
Read this years ago, and still remember trying to read one section aloud and not being able to get through it because I was laughing so hard. The kids are trying to welcome guests to their mother's bed and breakfast, completely incompetently.
But the heart of this story is Robin and his struggle to overcome his fear of dogs and work out a way to keep a sickly dog he finds on the beach near his home on the coast of England. Unique characters--a McKay trademark, and the reason she is one of my all-time favorite authors EVER! And this one is not very long. The ones in the Casson series, and the ones about the 4 sisters --"The exiles" are longer but WELL worth it--actually even better.
