[A Dog's Purpose 1.50] • Ellie's Story

*Ellie's Story* is a heartwarming illustrated novel adapted for young readers from the beloved and *New York Times* bestselling *A Dog's Purpose* by W. Bruce Cameron.

Ellie is a very special dog with a very important purpose. From puppyhood, Ellie has been trained as a search-and-rescue dog. She can track down a lost child in a forest or an injured victim under a fallen building. She finds people. She saves them. It's what she was meant to do.

But Ellie must do more. Her handlers--widowed Jakob, lonely Maya--need her too. People can be lost in many ways, and to do the job she was born to do, Ellie needs to find a way to save the people she loves best.

*Ellie's Story* is an inspiring tale for young animal lovers. Adorable black-and-white illustrations by Richard Cowdrey bring Ellie and her world to life. A discussion and activity guide at the end of the book will help promote family and classroom discussions about *Ellie's Story* and the insights it provides about humankind's best friends.
