Free Super Mia And The Good Luck Duo - Rescued Is The New Black Ebooks Online
Are black cats really bad luck? Are black dogs scarier than other dogs? When Baggins, a champion racing dog, is injured during a race, his owner callously dumps him in a wooded area. There, Baggins meets Evader, a black cat, and the two become fast friends. When the duo are captured by County Animal Services, Baggins discovers that he and Evader have little chance of being adopted because of their black fur. When the shelter's manager takes a special interest in them, it looks like their luck may finally change for the better. Will Baggins and Evader find their forever home?

I bought this book because its cover was so inviting. What a powerful image: Mia in her wheelchair saving animals with her superwoman cape flying behind her. It's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Even better is the story. This book is a revelation. We read a lot of children's books and a pet peeve of mine is they tend to have the same words/lessons. This is a really original idea: a story told from the point of view of an undesired shelter dog. I love that the person who saved him is someone you would not expect to see in children's books. A happy, single woman saves the day. There is no prince charming. Not that Mia is looking for her prince anyway. She's too busy being the "head cheese" in charge at the shelter and saving animals. I have to add that with all this negative talk about immigrants lately, it's nice to see such a positive immigrant story in a children's book.I feel my review would not be complete without discussing the language in the story. The vocabulary is extensive, with words like:incredulously, elusive, epiphany, Souvlaki, and synagogue to name a few. The beauty of all of it is the story flows and the words aren't just thrown in there.Finally, as a person who loves animals and would love to see the day when we finally put this culture of animals for entertainment behind us, I absolutely loved this book. Thank you to the author for raising her voice against dog racing. I cannot believe this activity is still legal in some states. This story a great way to educate children about the plight of Greyhounds and shelter dogs. While it elicits empathy, it's not traumatizing for kids. The author maintains a delicate balance.
