"It's a life-altering New Year for thirteen-year-old Lydia when she uproots to a Connecticut farm to live with her aunt following her mother's death. Aunt Brat, her jovial wife, Eileen, and their ancient live-in landlord, Elloroy, are welcoming -- and a little quirky. Lydia's struggle for a sense of belonging in her new family is highlighted when the women adopt a big yellow dog just days after the girl's arrival. Wasn't one rescue enough? Lydia is not a dog person -- and this one is trouble! He is mistrustful and slinky. He pees in the house, escapes into the woods, and barks at things unseen. His new owners begin to guess about his unknown past. At the same time, Lydia doesn't want to be difficult -- and she does not mean to keep secrets -- but there are things she's not telling . . . Like why the box of "paper stuff" she keeps under her bed is so important . . . And why that hole in the wall behind a poster in her room is getting bigger . . . And why something she took from the big yellow dog just might be the key to unraveling his mysterious past -- but at what cost?"--,Provided by publisher.
