When perpetual new kid Robyn signs up her special needs dogs for agility training, she gets an unexpected lesson in friendship in this well-paced...thoughtful ( Kirkus Reviews ) novel from the author of We Could Be Heroes and Susie B.
But as Robyn learns how to adapt the rules of agility for Sundae and Fudge, she will find that some rules are worth breaking altogether..
Suddenly, Robyn finds herself surrounded by people who do anything but blend in--and sticking to her rules becomes harder than ever.
Problem is, Robyn isn\'t so great at math herself, so she\'s forced to recruit the class outcast, Alejandra, to help.
Luckily, the instructor\'s grandson, Nestor--a legend at Robyn\'s new school--offers Robyn a deal: If she helps him with math, he\'ll train Sundae and Fudge.
Sundae won\'t do anything without Fudge, and Fudge is deaf and blind, and the instructor refuses to change the rules to fit their needs.
When Robyn discovers a dog agility class, she thinks she\'s found the perfect thing--but then her dogs, Sundae and Fudge, are rejected from the class.
Unfortunately, Robyn\'s mom has a rule, too: Robyn must do an after-school activity.
She\'s practically an expert on the subject and has developed foolproof rules to help her get by: Blend in, don\'t go looking for trouble, and move on.
Robyn Kellen has been the new kid six times.
