Hunde und Menschen verbindet eine besondere Zuneigung. Und keiner kann das besser erzählen als ... ein kleiner Welpe! Welpe Ellie findet bei Jakob ein Zuhause und darf, wie es sich gehört, jeden Tag im Park rumtoben und spielen. Eigentlich ein tolles Leben, wenn sie jetzt noch bei ihm im Bett schlafen dürfte! Doch das Spiel ist ein wichtiges Training, denn Ellie soll ein Spürhund werden und vermisste Menschen finden. Und sie macht sich gut, egal ob Fährtensuche, über Hindernisse springen oder im Hubschrauber mitfliegen ... solange Ellie bei ihrem Menschen Jakob ist, kann sie alles schaffen. Doch warum ist Jakob immer so traurig? Ellie fängt an zu verstehen, dass man Menschen nicht nur finden, sondern auch retten muss! Wie aus dem tapsigen, schlappohrigen Welpen Ellie ein mutiger und selbstloser Rettungshund wird und wie sie dabei die Menschen um sich herum glücklich macht, beschreibt Bestsellerautor W. Bruce Cameron nicht nur spannend, sondern mit viel Herz und Humor. Liebevoll illustriert von Richard Cowdrey. Weitere Bücher von W. Bruce Cameron: »Bailey findet ein Zuhause« »Molly findet eine Freundin« (erscheint im Frühjahr 2018)

Sixteen-year-old Thomas wakes up with no memory in the middle of a maze and realizes he must work with the community in which he finds himself if he is to escape.

This is the remarkable story of one endearing dog's search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A Dog's Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life's most basic question: Why are we here? Surprised to find himself reborn as a rambunctious golden-haired puppy after a tragically short life as a stray mutt, Bailey's search for his new life's meaning leads him into the loving arms of eight-year-old Ethan. During their countless adventures, Bailey joyously discovers how to be a good dog. But this life as a family pet is not the end of Bailey's journey. Reborn as a puppy yet again, Bailey wonders - will he ever find his purpose? Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog's Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog's many lives, but also a dog's-eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man's best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, and that every creature on earth is born with a purpose.

Quando Thomas si risveglia, le porte dell’ascensore in cui si trova si aprono su un mondo che non conosce. Non ricorda come ci sia arrivato, né alcun particolare del suo passato, a eccezione del proprio nome. Con lui ci sono altri ragazzi, tutti nelle sue stesse condizioni, che gli danno il benvenuto nella Radura, un ampio spazio delimitato da invalicabili mura. L’unica certezza dei ragazzi è che ogni mattina le porte di pietra del gigantesco Labirinto che li circonda vengono aperte, per poi richiudersi di notte. Ben presto il gruppo elabora l’organizzazione di una società in cui vigono rigorose regole per mantenere l’ordine, e ogni trenta giorni qualcuno si aggiunge a loro dopo essersi risvegliato nell’ascensore. Il mistero si infittisce quando – senza che nessuno se lo aspettasse – arriva una ragazza che porta con sé un messaggio che non lascia alternative se non la fuga. Ma il Labirinto sembra essere inespugnabile... e potrebbe rivelarsi una trappola mortale.
