Description

Russell and Shawn call themselves the PS Brothers: P is for poop, S is for scoop, and Brothers is because they're best friends. Scooping poop is the fastest way to earn money to buy a puppy. These two are crazy about dogs. And they're sure that once their puppy grows into a tough dog, no one will ever pick on them for being weak or poor again. Unfortunately, getting a puppy is not that easy. Russell and Shawn don't count on uncovering a dog-fighting ring--and that can bust apart a dream faster than a dog can sniff out a bone.

But doing the right thing might still get them what they want--and maybe even more.

Reviews

"Heartwarming yet full of gritty issues." --Kirkus Reviews

"Part of the appeal of this book is its edginess. Shawn's and Russell's hardscrabble existences and their heartfelt yearning for a dog to defend them are compelling."--School Library Journal

"A lighthearted portrait of a strong friendship and a plucky kid who doesn't let tough circumstances get him down." --Booklist

"The book's accessibility and high-interest subject make it a natural for reluctant readers, and readers in general will appreciate Russell's moral dilemma and sigh in relief at the happy puppy-acquiring ending."--The Bulletin
