Publisher Description
This sequel to Beverly Cleary's beloved Newbery Medal-winning classic, Dear Mr. Henshaw, stars Strider, a dog who loves to run.
Can a stray dog change the life of a teenage boy? It looks as if Strider can.
He's a dog that loves to run; because of Strider, Leigh Botts finds himself running—well enough to join the school track team. Strider changes Leigh on the inside, too, as he finally begins to accept his parents' divorce and gets to know a redheaded girl he's been admiring.
With Strider's help, Leigh finds that the future he once hated to be asked about now holds something he never expected: hope.
Strider is a winning dog adventure for kids ages 6-12. It can be read alongside the beloved classic Dear Mr. Henshaw or on its own.

Customer Reviews
Dear Mr Henshaw...
Is young boy I read and reread dear Mr. Henshaw. Recently reading Strider brought me right back to the little shack that I remember in Pacific Grove growing up. I didn't feel there's any real climax in the story, but it was fine because really it was just nice knowing that he was living a good life and was happy. What more could you ask for?
Great book
I always will like this book
