Stella Book Jacket - Girl Hugging Beagle dog in front of a tree

Stella / McCall Hoyle

Stella has a lot of regret in her little beagle body—she used to sniff for bombs, until one day, she got distracted, and her beloved handler paid the price for her inattention.  Nobody seems to have the will or the right skills to help Stella get better and trust herself again.  Will Stella find a person to love again, and maybe even find a new purpose and way to be useful?  Ages 8 and up.
