About This Comprehension Guide
A discussion-first companion to Kate DiCamillo's warm, funny novel about a girl, a stray dog, and the way one small creature can bring a whole town of lonely people together. Your reader follows Opal through a summer of first friendships and hard questions — about her mother, about loss, about why people keep lists of their mistakes — with prompts that invite real thinking instead of right answers. Answer key included, so you can open it, hand it over, and trust it.
