Want students to read more? So does Townsend Press. That's why we created the Townsend Library—a collection of high-interest paperbacks that engage readers. These books feature compelling human stories and include an afterword and author commentary to deepen readers' enjoyment. Acclaimed by educators and readers alike, each Townsend Library book is available to schools for $3.
Noble, gentle, loyal, patient, loving, wise, brave, and fair—Lad is “thoroughbred in body and soul.”
This heroic collie never hesitates to protect others from danger—a raging bull, a poisonous snake, freezing waters, scorching flames, and greedy burglars that will stop at nothing to get what they want.
But what happens when Lad has to defend himself from his own kind and fight his fiercer, younger rivals—to the death?
