Rascal may be the happiest beagle ever to live. He used to live on Voclain#x19;s Farm, with its whole jambalaya of dogs, but now he lives with his very own boy, Meely. Together they explore the Louisiana bayou, bunny chasin#x19;, coon and squirrel huntin#x19;, and crawfishin#x19;. But when Meely gets stuck on a rotting bridge deep in the bayou, it#x19;s up to Rascal-with a little help from his old friends at the farm-to save his boy from danger. In the spirit ofHuckleberry Finn,Rascalis a classic coming-of-age story, but from a dog#x19;s perspective. With unforgettable characters, heart-stopping action, and charming black-and-white line drawings that capture it all, this zesty gumbo of a book is one to savor long after it is finished.
