Good Boy

Mal Peet (Author), Emma Shoard (Illustrator)

A sinister black dog stalks Sandie Callan in her sleep. Its glinting eyes and low blood-curdling growl leave her terrified. Only her precious pet mongrel Rabbie can keep the monster at bay. But when Rabbie is no longer there to protect her, Sandie’s worst nightmare returns…

A powerful and truly unnerving novella by the much-missed Mal Peet, brought to life with evocative illustrations by Kate Greenaway-longlisted artist Emma Shoard.
