Although writing for several decades, Diana Wynne Jones' fantasy is now becomming very popular. In this book Sirius, the immortal dog star, is falsely accused and banished into a dog's body on earth. Kathleen, a youngster with a lot of home problems, unwittingly adopts him. He must retrieve the one clue that will clear his name but as a puppy he only dimly remembers all this. Kathleen gets pulled into helping him. Terrific fantasy story, humorous, extremely real characters with a lot of human faults, and many good ideas to think about.
