Lacey is an excitable young Boxer
who lives with her girl Wenling and
their family on a small property.
Lacey is a friendly and sociable dog
who doesn’t always listen to Wenling,
but her good nature gets her out of
most scrapes.She spends her days
chasing rabbits and playing with
her best dog friend Cooper. That is,
until, one day there is an accident.
At first, the family doesn’t know what
to do and it looks like Lacey’s life
has ground to a standstill. However,
when she is fitted with a wheelchair,
Lacey is finally able to reach her
potential. This is a heartwarming
story about living with disability and
how using mobility aids can help
dogs as much as humans. Cameron
writes convincingly from Lacey’s
point of view. Lacey undergoes
great character development as she
matures into a reliable adult dog and
overcomes her challenges using
her new equipment. Occasionally
a bit saccharine, but an enjoyable
story nonetheless.

Anyone who knows me knows I Love dog's so of course I loved this book and I am also disabled so this beautifully written story really hit home with me. It is a children's book,that reflects on responsibility, respect, growing up and most importantly including people/things that are different. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this ARC, opinions are solely my own.


Lacey is a very special dog with a very important purpose. After an accident, Lacey must get used to being followed around everywhere by a funny cart with wheels. Sometimes it makes her go too fast or in the wrong direction! But that doesn’t stop Lacey from having fun with her human girl Wenling and her best dog friend, Cooper. And when a tornado strikes, putting Wenling’s and Cooper’s families in danger, only Lacey and her cart can save the day.

The latest addition to the successful Puppy Tales series by #1 New York Times bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron is the inspiring and joyful story of a special needs pet who overcomes adversity and learns to live her best life after she is fitted with a mobility cart.

Now I see why all the kids love these animal stories, especially dog ones. Just so darn cute and believable. The cover will grab them but reading it will convince them that it was a wise choice.

This is a beautiful story about a dog named Lacey. Lacey loves and is loved by her owner, “her girl.” Lacey and her girl enjoy a full life. They live on a farm with the girl’s parents, though the farm does not belong to them. Instead, it belongs to a close friend, Chase, who has two sons and a service dog for the younger one, who is in a wheelchair. Lacey is good friends with this dog. One day, while feeling frisky and adventuresome, Lacey escapes from the farm. Unfortunately, Lacey is hit by a car and loses the use of her hind legs. However, the man of the house riggs up a wagon-like conveyance so Lacey can move around almost normally. In the story, Lacey, her girl and the two boys have numerous adventures. Naturally, Lacey is a big part of these. One thing that bothers the youngsters and thus the dogs is the fact that the farm is losing money, which means the owner will probably have to sell off the beloved orchard. The youngsters hatch a plot to earn money so there will be no need to sell the orchard, which figures heavily into their adventures.
This is a wonderful story of a dog, her owner, and their mutual resourcefulness, driven by their desire to help out with the farm. I thoroughly enjoyed the strong bond between Lacey and her girl. In addition, it was interesting to watch how the boy for with the service dog service dog interacted. In fact, it was nice the way everyone easily accepted the relationship as the fact that the boy was wheelchair bound. This is a great book for pre-teens, especially those who love dogs. It definitely provides a good picture of how everyone can get along while being resourceful. I have not read any other books by the author, but plan to after this one. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

This cute chapter book tells the story of a dog named Lacey through her perspective. Children love books like this because it plays to their imagination and it is easy to make things funny and entertaining because talking dogs can describe things in an interesting way that might be intentionally different than people. Lacey has been in an accident and uses a cart with wheels to help her get around, though she just thinks it is following her. By including this accessibility issue in the story, Cameron also opens the opportunity for discussion about disability and inclusion. Even though Lacey is a dog, readers may be able to relate to the challenges she faces or make connections to humans facing the same difficulties. Lacey and her cart help save the day after a tornado strikes, which is just enough action to keep kids entertained without being too scary! This is a really relatable and age-appropriate problem for the middle grade age group. As a grade 3 teacher, I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the age 6-10 range. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this book!

Wenling has a tight bond with her dog Lacey. When a life changing accident alters Lacey’s life forever, Wenling must decide what is best for her. She and her best friend Burke, who is handicapped, decide to find a way to help Lacey navigate through her handicap. The story is told through Lacey’s narrative and gives insight to how dogs view and understand the actions of their humans! Cute story!



Thanks to Bruce Cameron and MacMillan-Tor/Forge for the book

Lacey is a special dog who after an accident has a cart with wheels to assist her hind legs which were injured. Lacey loves her human girl Wenling and her best doggy friend Cooper. This is her story.

My 7 year old son and I reviewed this together. I read it outloud to him. Lacey is a wonderful character and quite a 'Super-dog' . Anyone who is familiar with the author knows that his books are told from the perspective of a dog and this book is no different. There is no shortage of action, events and surprises through out the book and of course some cliff hangers, which makes for an engaging read where it's said 'just one more chapter! ' after every chapter! The human and canine characters all face some challenges but manage to solve problems and overcome the obstacles in their way.
We both thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be adding more books by the author to our collection. This book is aimed at middle grade but can definitely be read to slightly younger kids and adults should enjoy it too.
Thank you netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Starscape for the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions

this was another adorable addition to Cameron's works. I love all of his books as a dog lover. This one though it going to hold a special place in my heart as I too am disabled and the representation is always great to have.
As funny as it sounds have a book about a disabled dog could have done wonders for me as a kid. Being able to see hey Lacey can do this so I can too would really have motivated me.
I would definitely check this one out if you like Cameron and his other work or even if this is your first time reading him.
