Why read it?

1 author picked Stay as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love Stay because it is about a dog and a serious topic that affects a lot of families-homelessness.

The book is narrated by a young girl named Piper whose family has fallen on hard times. Piper lives in a homeless shelter with her mom, dad, and younger brother.

The other narrator is a little dog called Baby. Baby lives with his person, Jewel in a nearby park since the shelter doesn’t allow pets. When Jewel develops pneumonia and is hospitalized, it’s up to Piper to save Baby and help Jewel get back on her feet.
