An irresistible canine adventure from the much-loved author of "Journey To The River Sea", illustrated by Sharon Rentta. Hal has always wanted a dog, but his rich parents don't allow him to have one. Then they discover Easy Pets, a dog-rental agency. Hal is thrilled to get terrier Fleck, but is appalled to discover he must be returned, so they both run away. 'Readers of classic children's fiction will be familiar with the bliss that steals over one when a new Eva Ibbotson novel is published'. Ages; 8+
