Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gus was once a much-loved dog who lived a happy life. Then things began to change. His owner neglected and eventually abandoned him. He suffered abuse and cruelty from passing humans, deteriorating physically and emotionally. Over time, things out of his control began to shape Gus, his life, and his future. Gus was found by local rescuers in September 2018. He was in horrific condition, so he was immediately taken for medical treatment sponsored by the Houston K-911 Rescue group. Gus had many medical issues to overcome, he had a long recovery with lots of support from people all over the world, but now he is happy and healthy. Gus has a forever family now and he is loved, pampered and cherished, as every dog should be. Author Sandee Roquemore-Maxwell has worked with rescue dogs in the Houston area for many years. She understands that the key to a better future for animals is to teach the next generation to have compassion for those left in their care. The story of Gus reminds kids how to love their pets, and what to do if they see one abandoned, while instilling respect for animals everywhere.

Book excerpt: Critically acclaimed author Cammie McGovern presents a heartwarming and humorous middle grade novel about the remarkable bond that forms between an aspiring service dog and an autistic boy in need of a friend. “Joyful, inspiring, and completely winning, Chester and Gus is unforgettable,” proclaimed Katherine Applegate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Newbery Medal winner The One and Only Ivan. Chester has always wanted to become a service dog. When he fails his certification test, though, it seems like that dream will never come true—until a family adopts him. They want him to be a companion for their ten-year-old son, Gus, who has autism. But Gus acts so differently than anyone Chester has ever met. He never wants to pet Chester, and sometimes he doesn’t even want Chester in the room. Chester’s not sure how to help Gus since this isn’t exactly the job he trained for—but he’s determined to figure it out. Because after all, Gus is now his person. In the spirit of beloved classics like Because of Winn-Dixie, Shiloh, and Old Yeller, Cammie McGovern’s heartfelt novel—told from Chester’s point of view—explores the extraordinary friendship between a child and a dog with a poignant and modern twist.

Book excerpt: Being born in 1920's Depression-era Mississippi is a hard life. It can be even harder if you are Black. Gus, born of two worlds, a Black mother and a White father, the law of the times dictated, access to one and not the other.Though he has a loving family, ongoing tensions between him and his mother push Gus to make a critical decision. At twelve years old unbeknownst to his family, Gus leaves home early one morning long before the rooster crows. As dangers and life-threatening encounters that unfold on his journey, he is not wholly prepared for them. Being alone and Black in 1930's Jim Crow Mississippi could often feel like being the hunted. Gus's trials spark an awakening in him. Survival instincts kick in and activate his family's extrasensory gifts. Sleeping abilities that may help to guide him; but all life lessons come at a cost. Will the lessons learned be enough to save him?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gus was the best fisherman in all of town...no contest (although he’d won many). Gus is trying to break his own record of most fish ever caught. When he falls overboard, he must change his tactics. He follows a clever, shape-shifting school of fish and comes to realize that it’s more fun when fish are friends, not food. Accompanied by whimsical art, this aquatic story hints at the importance of conserving sea life and shows that, if you get to know someone, they just might change your perspective and end up your friend.
