"A plucky West Highland Terrier named Harvey is determined to protect his yard from an intruding animal. Meanwhile, Harvey's owner Maggie struggles to fit in at school, his friend Austin works to prevent his grandfather from losing his job at a retirement home, and new retirement home resident Josephine Fradette clings to her fierce individuality in the face of conformity"-- - Baker & Taylor
A sequel to Harvey Comes Home continues the adventures of the irrepressible West Highland Terrier, who joins Maggie and Austin as a volunteer at the Brayside retirement home, where he bonds with residents and rescues an abandoned puppy. Illustrations. - Ingram Publishing Services
The West Highland Terrier that brought Harvey Comes Home to life returns with his tail wagging and his nose sharp, ready for a new adventure
Harvey the West Highland Terrier is back with his beloved Maggie. He is also back at Brayside retirement home, where he and Maggie now volunteer along with their friend Austin. There Maggie is drawn to a new resident, Mrs. Fradette, who tells stories of learning to fix cars as a twelve-year-old during the flood of 1950. Mrs. Fradette, with her bold fashion and love of poker, doesnât fit in among the beige-cardigan-wearing, bridge-playing ladies of Brayside, but she doesnât seem to care. Maybe thatâs why Maggie likes her so much. Since seventh grade began, Maggie hasnât been fitting in well with her friends, either.
Harvey has a problem of his own. He can smell an intruder in his yard, and he needs to find it. He is so intent on the nighttime fiend that he almost doesnât notice how worried Austin is about his grandfather, who has been Braysideâs custodian for longer than Harvey has been alive. It seems like the retirement home is planning to give the job to a younger man, an injustice that Austin canât let pass unchallenged.
In intertwining perspectives, Colleen Nelson tells four stories of individuals standing firm for what they know is right: Josephine Fradette, insisting on her right to become a mechanic; Maggie, certain that her friendsâ expectations shouldnât define who she becomes; Austin, indignantly campaigning against ageism; and Harvey, who has found his home at last and is determined to protect it.
