Kaya and Lone Dog: A Friendship Story by Janet Beeler Shaw
3.0
This review is from the perspective of a mother - Kaya's fourth book focuses on Kaya's love of animals, and hints at her special skills in this area.
Kaya continues to be a bit impetuous, but she is showing development and more thoughtfulness. She remembers a previous vow and helps a pregnant wolf/dog hybrid, even though her family cautions that it could be dangerous to her and others. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending to this book, as a parent. Kaya takes big risks with Lone Dog, and the consequences end up being emotional (she loses another animal), rather than the more likely outcome of a person being hurt. The good news is that for once, Kaya gets to keep something!
One of the more realistic things about the Kaya series is that she does continue to grieve the people and animals she has lost.
