From the singular imagination of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson comes a magical adventure about a boy and his dogor a dog and her boyand a forest of wonders hidden in plain sight. Clay has had his fill of home life. A global plague has brought the world to a screeching halt, and with little to look forward to but a summer of video-calling friends, vying with annoying sisters for the family computer, and tuning out his parents financial worries, hes only too happy to retreat to the woods. From the moment the elegant little dog with the ornate collar appears like an apparition among the trees, Clay sees something uncanny in her. With this mysterious Elphinore as guide, hell glimpse ancient secrets folded all but invisibly into the forest. Each day the dog leads Clay down paths he never knew existed, deeper into the unknown. But they arent alone in their surreal adventures. There are traps and terrors in the woods, too, and if Clay isnt careful, he might stray off the path and lose his way forever. Graced with evocative black-and-white illustrations by Junyi Wu, Elf Dog and Owl Head is heartfelt and exhilarating, wry and poignant, seamlessly merging the fantastic and the familiar in a tale both timely and timeless.

I adore this book! It is weird and inventive and relatable and did I mention weird? There is an absolutely perfect passage (pictured), a tiny bit of eeriness, and ✨ m a g i c ✨.

It‘s not your everyday boy-and-his-dog story: it‘s a human boy in New England during a global pandemic who befriends an elf hound separated from his faerie pack. Magical adventures ensue. I loved this charming middle grade tale and the atmospheric graphite illustrations by Junyi Wu.

“Who‘s that?” Clay asked.
Amos answered, “That is Death, on his pale horse, Trigger Mortis.”
