"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

STAFF PICKS--The Dog Boy

Valerie's Pick:  The Dog Boy, by Eva Hornung

Set in Moscow, this is the gripping story of an abandoned four-year-old who survives when he is adopted into a feral dog clan.  The plot hinges on survival, of the boy and the dogs, who are stalked by other dogs, by the poor and brutal people among whom they live.  An unique, lyrical book, whose story will stay with you long after you finish reading.
