A friendship built through trust and teamwork

Jenna’s difficulties with anger and school set the stage for a story in which caring for a frightened Border Collie gives her a new sense of purpose. As she and Lucky train for agility courses, their growing partnership connects Jenna with her older sister and new friends, while her struggles and conflict with a bully remain unresolved. The book brings together themes of emotional self-control, trust, responsibility, and second chances, with the dog-training relationship as a practical thread running through Jenna’s changing circumstances.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about pets and friendship
  • Readers drawn to young-adult fiction about anger, responsibility, and personal growth
  • Dog lovers interested in agility training as part of a fictional story

Book overview

A girl with a big temper. A lost dog with no one to trust. One unexpected friendship that could change everything.

Jenna Connor is always in trouble.

Adults call her a "problem kid." Jenna just feels like her anger is too big to stop-like a storm that takes over before she can think. After a fight at school goes too far, she gets expelled and sent to therapy.

Then one day, Jenna finds a skinny, scared Border Collie hiding in the grass. She names him Lucky.

Lucky doesn't trust anyone... except Jenna.

For the first time, Jenna feels like she understands someone-and that someone understands her back. Taking care of Lucky gives her something she's never had before: a purpose.

With the help of her older sister and a few new friends, Jenna starts training Lucky to run agility courses-jumping, racing, and working as a team. And they're not just good... they're amazing.

But life doesn't suddenly become easy.

Jenna still struggles with her temper. A bully won't leave her alone. And one wrong choice could cost her everything-including Lucky.

Now Jenna has to decide:

Will she let her anger control her... or will she fight for the life-and the friendship-she's finally found?

Perfect for fans of heartfelt animal stories, this is a powerful and uplifting story about friendship, second chances, and learning how to believe in yourself.
