Beschreibung

Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog Comes Home is the final book in Lita Eitner-Englands Bulldog trilogy. Readers dont need to read the first two books in order to enjoy this last installment. More than 130 years have passed since Trevor Sheffield, Lisette St. Germaine, Matthew Connors, and their friends said goodbye to the duke of Chathamworthshires first Bullmina in London and embarked on new adventures. We are now in Redwood City, California, home to Carey Evers and her dysfunctional parents. The family of Careys grandparents has a history of raising bulldogs, but Careys abusive father, Hank, refuses to let Carey adopt even a rescue dog. Careys grandmother, the indefatigable Nonna Beppa, is the only person keeping Carey sane until Bobbi Weinberg and her family move in with a station wagon full of champion and rescue English bulldogs. Carey and Bobbi become fast friends, bonding over the dogs. Even Careys mentally ill mother, Liz, finds new motivation to live while helping Bobbis mother, Lyndsey, take care of the new litters and tend to the rescue bulldogs. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes twice. Liz comes down with a catastrophic illness, and Hank is convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter. With the help of Bobbis father, Dr. Josh Weinberg, and both Lyndsey and Bobbi, Carey must navigate these uncertain waters and build a new future. She discovers that her life and Bobbis are more intricately tied together than she could ever have imagined, bringing new conflicts that threaten to tear both families apart until the unconditional love of an abandoned rescue bulldog saves the day, and Bullminas legacy lives on for more generations to come. This book also includes a bonus short story about an irresistible Siberian husky named Payasito (little clown). Proceeds from all book sales are being donated to animal rescue organizations around the country.

Autor

When she couldn't find a good story about Bulldogs for her then nine-year-old daughter, Lita Eitner-England decided to write one herself. Her first book, Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog, was a finalist for the 2004 ASPCA Henry Bergh Children's Book Award for Young Adult Fiction. The book chronicles Bullmina's turbulent early years in the 1830's, when she is abandoned on the outskirts of London, then rescued, only to be stolen and forced to fight in the illegal dogfight pits. Because of the first book's success, Lita Eitner-England started The Bullmina Foundation in 2005 to support animal rescue organizations, promote children's literacy programs, and teach responsible dog ownership. Her second book, Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog to the Rescue, was published in 2010. Inspired by her own Bulldogs, Ms. Eitner-England's writing reflects the joys of owning Bulldogs as well as some of the very real health problems they face. She is an advocate of animal rescue and adoption and participates in Visiting Author Programs at local schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Leslie Hoops-Wallace has illustrated all three of Ms. Eitner-England's books. Ms. Hoops Wallace graduated from The Academy of Art University, San Francisco, with a BFA in Illustration. She enjoys painting animals, and she creates pet portraits. Ms. Hoops-Wallace manages the Fine Art Societies Gallery in Warner Robins, Georgia. She believes art heals, and she encourages the community to visit the gallery and chat with the artists and each other. Follow her on Facebook or email her for more information: [e-mail]
