Paw House

Rate this book
Hamish's summer isn't going as planned.

First, his parents left him to go on a business trip to Japan, and now he's found himself stuck in the Scottish highlands with an aunt he's never met, a grumpy girl called Izzy, and a lot of animals.

He's never even stroked a dog - what on earth is he supposed to do here?

Before long Hamish finds himself taking the dogs for walks, adopting a piglet, even rescuing a tiny puppy in the dead of night.

But something's not right: Aunt Helen is worried about the future of the sanctuary, and with more animals in need arriving every day, something's got to be done before they lose their home forever.

With the help of some unexpected new friends, can Hamish save the animals and turn the fate of the Paw House around?

Another lovely adventure of young kids discovering what it is like to enjoy nature and the company of pets. A discovery of the intelligence and wit of not only dogs, but also piggy's, cows and calfs, donkeys and chicken! The blossoming of the young boy's personality, in this open atmosphere where each one learns that our place together makes sense and functions way better through cooperation and loving care.

Loved this book, our hero Hamish (Miksha) goes to stay with his aunt while his jet setting parents are travelling to Japan.

There is a lot of information about Animal sanctuaries. and a so much about Miksha's development from a sullen fashion conscious teenager to a responsible and well rounded young man, who takes a great deal of interest in making sure that Paw House will pay its way.

But so many ups and downs along the way, this is as enjoyable for adults as for children. Anyone with an interest in animal welfare will love this book. Highly recommended.

Beautiful book by Megan Rix.
This book is set in more modern times than than most of Megan Rix's books I won't say any thing else so I don't spoil it for you guys but over all lovely book that shows that even people that have never had any thing to do with animals can fall in love with them.

Was disappointed with how much vegetarianism was pushed throughout the book, bearing in mind this is aimed at a young audience
