She misses her house, her friends, and her privacy--and she <em>hates </em>being labeled the homeless girl at her new school.</p><p>But while Hope House offers her new challenges, it also brings new friendships, like the girls in Firefly Girls Troop 423 and a sweet street dog named Baby. So when Baby's person goes missing, Piper knows she has to help. But helping means finding the courage to trust herself and her new friends, no matter what anyone says about them--before Baby gets taken away for good. </p><p>Told in alternating perspectives, this classic and heartfelt animal tale proclaims the importance of hope, the power of story, and the true meaning of home. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>★"A small dog, the elderly woman who owns him, and a homeless girl come together to create a tale of serendipity.
