Ember had one job: Minding Toby.

Now he's gone.

Life hasn't been great for thirteen-year-old Ember. Her mom barely notices her, her dad's visits are awkward, and school is a daily battle with a tiresome bully. Her big sister has just left home for college, and now her dad has a new girlfriend! What's next?

Pet-sitting Toby, the sweet, goofy mutt next door, is the only part of Ember's life that feels simple and safe.

Until everything falls apart.

First, Toby's owner lands in the hospital. Then Toby disappears.

As Ember searches for the missing dog, she uncovers family secrets, makes new friends, and discovers new strength in herself. Because finding Toby isn't just about bringing him home. It's about finding her own place in a changing world.

Heartfelt, hopeful, and full of surprises, this middle-grade novel is perfect for readers who believe that sometimes the smallest companions lead to the biggest triumphs.
