Children will love this classic tale of Lassie in a new picture book edition! When Joe's father loses his job in the mines, he is forced to sell Lassie to the Duke of Rudling. Joe is heartbroken to lose his best, and only friend in the world. But every day at 4 o'clock, Lassie manages to dig her way out of the pen at the Duke's and waits for Joe outside the school. And every day Joe must return her. One day, Lassie is moved to the Duke's castle in Scotland, over 800 miles away. Still, Lassie manages to escape and finds herself drawn to finding Joe, to finding home. Will Lassie make it back to Yorkshire to Joe? 48 pages, softcover.
