Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-7?The resilience of the human spirit and the power of love and faith are appealingly captured in this first-person narrative. On the ceiling above her bed, Silver Iris Nickles has stuck pictures of 52 dogs, naming her creation her Dream Dog Display. Her grandfather, with whom she has lived since her parents and baby sister died in an auto accident, calls it Hound Heaven. He has also made it clear that she'll get a dog over his dead body. However, she is determined to change his mind. Silver is a memorable heroine full of life, humor, and determination in spite of a terrible personal tragedy and few material comforts. She is surrounded by equally interesting secondary characters, all of whom insure that life around Muckwater Mountain, West Virginia, will not easily be forgotten by readers.?Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA

My daughter's favorite book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hound Heaven (Hardcover)
My daughter Kristen loved reading this book. We even purchased a copy from the publisher to give to Kristen last Christmas. Kristen would love to write to Linda High about Hound Heaven. Does the author have an e-mail address? Or, if Linda High reads this message could you please contact Kristen at mygirlkns@aol.com. Thank you.

By A Customer
This review is from: Hound Heaven (Hardcover)
I think Rose is like a barbie & as for Dud, he is part of the interesting part of the story. Silver is the one who makes the story seem real. Without Silver I don't think I whould have read the whole story.Linda, you are a excelent writer. I love this book. I am buying this book.I love it. Most books don't seem as real as you make them sound. Jennifer -10
