Rooster: A Field Trial Fable

by Edward Pontacoloni

There is magic in this tale of an underdog.  A blue faerie sprite from the long ago forests of Ireland sings a song of hopes and dreams. An old Irish dog trainer, his young niece, and a novice handler aspire to a championship in a sport where the competition can be conspiratorial and literally snarling. Then there is Rooster, the flop eared, yellow-eyed "mongrel breed" and his buddy Sparky, and with this cast of characters the reader is given over to a fantasy in which hopes and dreams come true. Winner of the 2016 Reader's Favorite Bronze Medal for Animal Fiction, Rooster is "... a roller coaster ride of excitement...hilarious, engaging, and absolutely entertaining."  Reader's Favorite, Five Stars.
