Strider

By: Beverly Cleary

Narrated by: Pedro Pascal

This is the ""sequel that could stand on its own"" to Beverly Cleary's beloved, Newbery Award-winning classic, Dear Mr. Henshaw.

Can a stray dog change the life of a teenage boy? It looks as if Strider can. He's a dog that loves to run; because of Strider, Leigh Botts finds himself running—well enough to join the school track team. Strider changes Leigh on the inside, too, as he finally begins to accept his parents' divorce and gets to know a redheaded girl he's been admiring. With Strider's help, Leigh finds that the future he once hated to be asked about now holds something he never expected: hope.

Bad Attitude Teen Matures

If you could sum up Strider in three words, what would they be?

Teen Dog Teen

What about Pedro Pascal’s performance did you like?

Excellent timbre and speaking voice- sounded like a disgruntled teen as if the character was really telling the story-

Perfect Book

Brings loving tears to your tight throat as you grow in love with the characters.

Strider

The tone was bad, it was like a straight line like no waves in speech depending on the different situations. Instead of saying “oh my god.” It should be “oh my god!” You know.
