Fraillon’s verse can be raw, but it was also very absorbing. I have only read a few verse novels, but the ones that I have read have been wonderful.

Whilst on his adventure, Scruffity learns all about The Way of Dog – how to run, dig, howl and ultimately, how to love. He encounters many more people and animals – some friendly, some kind and some who are downright horrible. But the outside world can be cruel and when his liberator suffers an accident, Scruffity must learn to make it on his own. With the help of a lonely boy, Scruffity is set free and finally gets to experience the wider world with his new friend. In this book, Scruffity begins his life in a puppy farm, a world of cages and concrete. The Way of Dog is a verse novel written by Zana Fraillon, who is the award-winning author of The Bone Sparrow.
