So I haven't read this book, but a 6th grader acquaintance of mine has
Listen! by Stephanie S. Tolan on his summer reading list. Looks like an uplifting story about a grieving and injured girl who makes an "almost psychic connection" with a stray dog. My friend seemed to be enjoying it for the most part and it sounded fine.
But then I got a gander at the extras in the back of the book, which include a short how-to by the author on trying to actually try to get a psychic connection going with "your animal companion."
My friend and I had to giggle over that nonsense.
Listen!
