When my death came it was swift. Swift as a running horse. It wasted no time. Daisy, age twelve, has died in a car accident. She finds herself in the afterworld, which resembles nothing more than a job center. Her soul is being returned to Earth, but not as a human being?she's returning as a dog. A dog who retains Daisy's thoughts and pluck and is determined to get back to her parents and to get back home. What she doesn't expect is that life as a dog named Ray would come with such worries?and moments of jubilation?as she grows to care for others in a whole new way. Told in a compelling first-person voice, Linda Coggin's incredible novel touches on loyalty and freedom, connection and acceptance, and is sure to stay with readers long after the story is done UR - http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=310165&titleID=3021833 UR - https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=140c04bc-7b77-479b-beef-361bb606c4e8&.epub-sample.overdrive.com UR - https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1874-1/%7B140C04BC-7B77-479B-BEEF-361BB606C4E8%7DImg100.jpg UR - https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1874-1/%7B140C04BC-7B77-479B-BEEF-361BB606C4E8%7DImg200.jpg ER -
