Binny for Short

This tender, sweet, and hilarious novel about growing up with a loving family and a perfectly rambunctious dog â€œbalances moments of hilarity with poignancyâ€ (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

When she was eight, Binnyâ€™s life was perfect: She had her fatherâ€™s wonderful stories and Max, the best dog ever. But after her fatherâ€™s sudden death, money is tight, and horrible Aunty Violet decides to give Max awayâ€”he is just too big for their cramped new life. Binny knows she canâ€™t get her dad back, but she never stops missing Max, or trying to find him. Then, when sheâ€™s eleven, everything changes again.

Aunty Violet has died, and left Binny and her family an old house in a seaside town. Binny is faced with a new crush, a new frenemy, andâ€¦a ghost? It seems Aunty Violet may not have completely departed. Itâ€™s odd being haunted by her aunt, but there is also the warmth of a busy and loving mother, a musical older sister, and a hilarious little brother, who is busy with his experiments. And his wetsuit. And his chickens.

Youâ€™ll delight in getting to know Binny and her hilarious, heartwarming family in this charming novel, which received three starred reviews.
