June 1918.
The tidal wave of WWI engulfs the rural French village of Bouresches, forcing two teens to embark on a harrowing journey to an uncertain future and a destination known only to their border collie, Abby.

Abby is the Durand family dog. Her job is to be a companion for fifteen-year-old Marcel and his thirteen-year-old sister, Geneviève. She considers it herding. Marcel is plagued by doubts about his courage as he approaches military age. His sister has severe pneumonia. As their neighbors flee, the doctor warns their mother that the rigors of evacuation will kill Geneviève.

A disastrous escape leaves them orphaned and alone.

Marcel and Geneviève must find a distant relative, Cousin Henri, who lives near Paris. However, they have never met him, are not sure of his last name, and don’t know his address. Abby is the key—Henri is her former owner, though she begs to differ on the “owner” concept. If anyone can find him, she can. The teens confront their worst fears while seeking refuge amid the chaos of war, armed only with their faith in Abby.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

John F. Andrews began writing fiction in 2012. The spark that ignited the flame was a true story strange enough to be fiction set in the 1930s. You can read about it when his Beware series is published. This launched his Twentieth Century historical fiction writing career. His Novels of the Great War leverage his fascination with history along with his knowledge and experience as a physician and a US Marine Corps father.

Andrews grew up in the Midwest with an early love for the Montana mountains. After earning a BA in psychology at the University of Minnesota-Morris, he completed his MD degree at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He trained in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, and then completed a pulmonary medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago. He had a wonderful practice in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in Green Bay, WI, before "retiring". He and his wife, Sue, moved to Manhattan, Montana, out of their love of Montana. In 2024 they moved to Arvada, Colorado, to be close to their family.

This book provides the perspective of two children and a dog during the first world war in France. The chapters are short and told in the voice of each of those characters. It is light and easy to read. I think it is a good introduction to this period for middle and high school readers as well as adults.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024
I expected this to be a sappy read about a kid and his faithful dog
It's actually a good blend of real problems of those turned into refugees ( and those that didn't make it) by advancing enemy troops and ordinary citizens finding out they can do extraordinary things when the circumstances call for it ....And a some of that "sappy" stuff, too.

I liked the story because it was well written and included a dog as a main character. The dog has many human characteristics and gives me comfort, as well as the main characters, in trying times during the war.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dogs may not cry but I did, twice.
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
I enjoyed this book so much I read it in a few days. It pulls you in, and takes you on a journey through France during WWI, as told by two siblings and their dog. The historical details are most likely little known to many, and are masterfully woven throughout the story enlightening you to the dreadful atrocities that took place. You know it has resonated when it brings you to tears, more than once.
