Goodnight, Boy Paperback

Nikki Sheehan

Wake up. Wake up, Boy. I m bored. Time passes slowly in here, just you and me. It must be lunchtime. He will let us out soon. The kennel has been JC's and his dog Boy s home, ever since JC s new foster father locked them inside. They share food and water when they can get it, play, and talk. JC tells Boy about how he came to his country and his chaotic life beforehand: his family; the orphanage; the hurricane that swept everything away.He also tells him about when everything changed: his foster mother Melanie brought a new light into his life and brought him to her home country. That was before JC and Boy did something bad, something very bad. Just before their punishment, just before the kennel. Now their Foster Father is getting sicker, Melody still isn t home, and JC and Boy realize that they have to try and escape.
