A Dog and His Boy The Switch

Ellen Phinney

Meet Scout, a golden retriever puppy who is scouting for his new family.

Meet Jax, an eleven-year-old boy who misses his best friend.

One day a mishap occurs, and Scout and Jax accidentally switch places. What does a dog do in a boy's body? How does a boy face life as a dog? Scout and Jax must navigate life at home and school and figure out how to switch back. The two become inseparable, trying one failed attempt after another. When Jax's parents send him to the animal shelter, his life is at stake. With so much to lose after being separated, Jax and Scout's bond of friendship and family is tested. Will Jax be able to get through to his parents, and will Scout be able to rescue Jax before it's too late?
