===__This the best book. Kathi Appelt did a great job.It's well written because she makes a short story long by describing the felling, sound, and color.There is a dog named Ranger who is owned by a cruel man named Garface,when that man was small his dad was addicted to alcohol and one night his father was drunk and he punched garface in the face ,so now this man looks like the fish called a Gar.That little boy eventually ran away and grow up as a rude and selfish man but little Ranger was still being treated badly.one night Ranger was howling and somebody or something heard him.If you read the book you will see who or what.Remember it's a great book don't miss it__===

__julien_tobin__ _ You guys are mostly talking about what happened in the present so I'll tell you a bit that happened in the past. There is a snake and she's called Grandmother Moccasin. She's really old and she wants to be with somebody. She's a magical creature and all of her kind died. So one day a snake her kind comes along, Grandmother Moccasin raises her like a daughter and names her Nightsong. After living with her mother for a couple of centuries Nightsong meets a hawk. The hawk and the snake are both magical creatures and they fall in love with each other. So they come out of there bodys and turn into human. And then they have a baby. By now Grandmother Moccasin is really angry. Somehow she tricks Nightsong to become a snake again and the Nightsong dies. I'm sorry if you think I might've spoiled the book so I'll stop writing now.

This book will constantly tug at your heart and rush your blood as characters die, fall in love and seek revenge. It is the tale of a rejected and pregnant calico cat who meets a depressed hound and form a family. The love and hate constantly be there as you read about characters such as "Gar-Face" Grandmother Mocassin and Nightsong. The book is great and if you have the chance, try reading it!
