WINNER: 2023 CBCA Book of the Year, Younger Readers 'You don't have to carry the weight of the world in your tool belt.'
A Tale of Unbreakable Bonds
Annie Shearer lives in the country town of Upson Downs with her best friend, an adopted stray dog called Runt. The two share a very special bond. After years evading capture, Runt is remarkably fast and agile, perfect for herding runaway sheep. But when a greedy local landowner puts her family's home at risk, Annie directs Runt's extraordinary talents towards a different pursuit - winning the Agility Course Grand Championship at the lucrative Krumpets Dog Show in London. However, there is a curious catch: Runt will only obey Annie's commands if nobody else is watching. With all eyes on them, Annie and Runt must beat the odds and the fastest dogs in the world to save her farm
Runt is a heart-warming and hilarious tale of kindness, friendship, hurdles, hoops, tunnels, see-saws, being yourself and bringing out the best in others.
Runt by Craig Silvey is a heartwarming and humorous novel that captures the essence of friendship, community, and perseverance. Set in the quaint Australian town of Upson Downs, the story follows eleven-year-old Annie Shearer and her adopted stray dog, Runt, as they embark on an unexpected journey to save their family's farm.
