More of an extended story than a full-blown novel, \u003cem\u003eA Different Dog\u003c\/em\u003e is the highly original, gripping and surprising story of a boy who can't speak, a dog, and a daring rescue. There is humour too in this moving tale of survival and redemption. We are recommending it for children from the age of 12 upwards - but many of our adult reviewers have declared themselves hooked. @BookMonsterAlly said, 'Honestly, if you wore a tie, it would grab you by it, shake you around, and gently drop you to the floor in a soggy heap.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll three 'DIFFERENT' titles are available on audio, as a CD or download: you can access the collection from Audible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audible.co.uk\/pd\/Paul-Jennings-A-Different-Collection-Audiobook\/0655620273?qid=1585320747\u0026amp;sr=1-3\u0026amp;ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_3\u0026amp;pf_rd_p=c6e316b8-14da-418d-8f91-b3cad83c5183\u0026amp;pf_rd_r=GZYDN9KCM9WTK2JMPJPA\" title=\"Paul Jennings Different Collection from Audible\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigned bookplates available with your order from this website - please specify at checkout; alternatively, click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hive.co.uk\/Product\/Paul-Jennings\/A-Different-Dog\/21593670\" title=\"A Different Dog by Paul Jennings for sale from www.hive.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to buy with discount and free UK postage from www.hive.co.uk or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uk.bookshop.org\/a\/376\/9781910646427\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"A Different Dog by Paul Jennings\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to buy from Bookshop.org\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/2546\/files\/A_Different_Dog_Teacher_s_Notes.pdf?3\" title=\"A Different Dog by Paul Jennings teacher's notes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownload teacher's notes for A Different Dog here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Barn Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":32049245388854,"sku":"9781910646427","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/2546\/products\/9781910646427.jpg?v=1518081575"},{"product_id":"the-sorry-tale-of-fox-and-bear","title":"The Sorry Tale of Fox and Bear","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor and publisher Margrete Lamond here tells the story of a cruel falling-out between two friends, how it happens, and what happens next.
