But then cousin Carl Ray comes to stay with her family, and what starts out as the dull dog days of summer quickly turns into the wildest roller coaster ride of all time. How was Mary Lou supposed to know what would happen with Carl Ray and the ring? Or with her boy-crazy best friend, Beth Ann? Or with the permanently pink Alex Cheevey?

  • Literature Circle Guide to LOVE THAT DOG by Sharon Creech
    Literature Circle Guide to LOVE THAT DOG by Sharon Creech Book Summary Jack doesn’t care much for poetry, writing it or reading it. With the prodding of his teacher, though, he begins to write poems of his own — about a mysterious blue car, about a lovable dog. Slowly, he realizes that his brain isn’t “empty” and that he can write poems. After meeting one of his favorite writers, Walter Dean Meyers, Jack writes a special poem about a painful experience in his life, the death of his dog. By the end of the book, Jack realizes that writing and reading poetry is not only pleasurable, but that writing can be a way of dealing with painful memories. Instead of trying to forget those difficult experiences, he can make something creative out of them. Author Information Known for writing with a classic voice and unique style, Sharon Creech is the best- selling author of the Newbery Medal winner Walk Two Moons, and the Newbery Honor Book The Wanderer. She is also the first American in history to be awarded the CILIP Carnegie Medal for Ruby Holler. Her other works include the novels Love That Dog, Bloomability, Abolutely Normal Chaos, Chasing Redbird, and Pleasing the Ghost, and two picture books: A Fine, Fine School and Fishing in the Air. These stories are often centered around life, love, and relationships -- especially family relationships. Growing up in a big family in Cleveland, Ohio, helped Ms. Creech learn to tell stories that wouldn't be forgotten in all of the commotion: "I learned to exaggerate and embellish, because if you didn't, your story was drowned out by someone else's more exciting one."

Sal’s grief- stricken father rents out the farm that Sal loves and uproots her to Euclid, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. Sal hates her new home and cannot accept her father’s disturbing relationship with red-haired Margaret Cadaver, a nurse who has persuaded Mr. Hiddle to move to Ohio for work. Sal refuses to believe that her mother will never return. That summer, Gram and Gramps Hiddle, Sal’s paternal grandparents, take her on a six-day car trip from Euclid to Lewiston, Idaho. Sal’s goal is to reach their destination on Sal’s mother’s birthday. The trio travels westward, retracing the route taken by Sal’s mother. To pass the time, Sal recalls the events that preceded her mother’s departure and at Gram’s insistence, narrates a tale of her experiences in Euclid that past year. At the heart of the story is Sal’s friend Phoebe Winterbottom’s grief over her mother’s sudden disappearance. The imaginative Phoebe insists that her mother has been kidnapped by a lunatic. Phoebe’s loss parallels Sal’s loss, and Phoebe’s story brings Sal’s into sharper focus. The mystery is solved when Phoebe’s mother returns home with the “lunatic”—a son whom she gave up for adoption years before and whom her family has not been told about.
