Winner of the 2010 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal.
When the puppy came to live with Harry and Dad, he was as jumpy as a grasshopper. So that's what Harry called him. Hopper. Harry and Hopper do everything together. Hopper helps Harry with his homework and Harry helps Hopper escape from his weekly bath. At night, Hopper sneaks past Dad and goes to sleep in Harry's bed. One day, Harry comes home from school and his dog isn't there to greet him. Harry will never know the feel or the smell of Hopper again. But love is strong, and Hopper will stay with Harry as long as he needs him . . .
