Description

Finding a 'lost' dog in Central Park is beyond complicated, especially when you're almost eleven. It's uniquely problematic when it's the most special dog in the world; a dog that you didn't know you needed; a dog that could change everything in your life. But is a 'found' dog ever completely yours? Pressures with school, friendships, and family dominate Julie's world until she finds Persia. Persia adds sparkle and hope to everything. Will Julie be able to hold on to Persia after a video goes viral? Or is it all just borrowed time? If you like plucky, young protagonists, wise grandparents, and a dog that will steal your heart, then JUST STAY is for you. It's a heart-warming, Middle Grade novel, perfect for ages 8 - 108.
