Oliver & Aspen
Wild Ink Publishing, 2026
On his 12th birthday, Oliver is finally old enough to raise his first Guide Dog Puppy. He spends the next year training Aspen to sit, stay, and heel, to have good house manners, and to behave in public. During her evaluation, though, Aspen has some trouble ignoring a squirrel. She’ll have to do better to be a Guide Dog. With hard work, she is accepted into Guide Dog School, but when the time comes, the hardest lesson Oliver will learn is how to say goodbye.
