conversations.value: Gr 36Merlin's dog, Nosewise, can talk and do a bit of magic with the help of a special stone, instruction from Morgana, and some confidence. But magic isn't a power that should be used by everyone. When Merlin is kidnapped by the fae, it is up to Nosewise and his friend Arthur to save the day. This is an interesting retelling of The Sword in the Stone, offering readers an alternative view of a classic tale. Nosewise makes for a lovable protagonist, with his canine and human characteristics providing humorous insight. Merlin, Morgana, and even Arthur all play supporting roles and serve more as devices to drive the plot rather than characters to be fully explored. This is definitely the dog's story, and animal lovers will enjoy the antics of Nosewise and his human family. VERDICT A delightful magical fantasy, perfect for fans of fairy tales, legends, and dogs.Elizabeth Speer, Weatherford College, TX

conversations.value: The Wizard's Dog
  There was commotion in the trees, and I leapt up, barking. The vines kept me at the post. I growled and struggled with them.
  Branches rustled at the edge of the camp. I sniffed the air, but we were upwind. Some Fae stood; others held their breath.
  It was Arthur. His face was caked with dirt and his shirt was torn. I yipped and wagged my tail furiously.
  Arthur's eyes went wide, and his face dropped a shade in color. "Please...don't eat me!" he said emphatically. "I'm very dirty!"
  Morgana rapped her knuckle on the table to get Arthur's attention. "So you're the one who brought Nosewise here?"

conversations.value: I breathed a happy sigh and considered the wide-paneled door in front of me. I settled my Mind's Nose on the spell I thought best and found an easy Certainty.
  The house was dusty, cold, and in disrepair. But Merlin, Arthur, and Morgana sighed with relief to be indoors again. Arthur rested Excalibur on some hooks he found on a wall, and Morgana and Merlin set to starting a fire in the hearth. I stood in the doorway, watching them.
  I wagged my tail, barked happily, and joined my three loved ones in the warm house in the hills. Arthur scratched my ear. And Merlin laid his hand on my back as I sat on the floor beside him.
  They just are. Dogs, in my opinion, are the greatest things humans have besides each other. For the last 50,000 years, dogs have been by our sides as protectors, helpers, advisors, and buds.
  My dog, Bowser, is one of my closest friends. He was my inspiration for Nosewise and dutifully sat next to me every day of my writing, providing comfort and support. I hope that you, dear reader, have a dog like that in your life. If you don't, there are plenty of wonderful animals in shelters right now, literally this very second, waiting for their chance to have a happy home.
