title: Season's Christmas Quest: The Dog's Story
author:  Tara Pollard 
description: "Pollard delivers some vivid lines and has an intuitive sense of what animals think about." Blueink<br /><br />Clarion Review<br /><br />Here's a thrilling new twist on the heart-warming story of a dog's odyssey to reunite with his human family. Tara Pollard creates a dark fantasy of good versus evil for the golden mixed-breed dog, Season. With layered references to traditional folklore, Christian symbolism, and an apocalyptic setting, Pollard's Season's Christmas Quest is not the sweet and expected tale of a domestic dog alone in the wild. It is a fast-paced adventure. Pollard keeps the message of following one's heart and discovering a sense of spiritual grace at the center, and the pieces fall into place.<br /><br />In smooth prose interwoven with the right amount of explication, the story follows Season (the dog)through the forest as he faces danger, trickery and death. The plot features dangerous wildlife, and harsh natural elements until Season faces his final confrontation. Readers may feel blindsided by a sudden turn of events, but itinfuses the novel with new life, converting the story from a standard quest into a more fantasy-oriented trek. The fitting conclusion should leave readers of all ages satisfied.Fans of animal tales will gobble up this tale of a dog whoends up saving the world. Kirkus

  A dog... on the freeway! Or just about. A lovely Border Collie, it was walking
