When Grace places an ad for an assistant to give her writing inspiration, a Labrador retriever named Rex answers, and helps Grace find the words to write her own story. - Baker & Taylor
Responding to a disorganized young writerâs ad for an assistant, a faithful magical dog named Rex helps 7-year-old Grace work through writerâs block while teaching her the âmagicalâ power of tidying up. By the Newbery Medal-winning author of Sarah, Plain and Tall. 50,000 first printing. Simultaneous eBook. - HARPERCOLL
Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan has written a magical and funny tale about the joy found in using words, sharing stories, and loving a wondrous dog: Rex.
Grace's aunt is a writer. She works with words every day and teaches Grace interesting words like 'melancholy' and 'delirious."
But Lily is often 'flummoxed' by her writing. Her stories don't go anywhere, her desk is a mess, and her writer's group can't help.
So Lily posts an ad for an assistant: A writer of books needs an assistant, a coach, a helper, for inspiration and some magic!
The next day, Grace opens the door, and there is Rex: a Labrador retriever who will change Grace's life, and Lily's. The word 'amazing' is an everyday word for Rex, who inspires Lily, and helps Grace find the words to write her own story.
