Flash the Sheep Dog

£3.99

Flash the sheep dog is loyal, clever and brave. Before Flash arrived, orphan Tom was lonely and bored living on his uncle’s sheep farm in the middle of nowhere. The Scottish Borders are a long way from his old life in London.

Tom thinks his best friend could be a sheep dog champion so together they train for the sheep dog trials. But on the day of the big competition Tom faces a difficult decision — go to America, or stay with Flash?

A heart-warming story of friendship, acceptance and finding a place to call home from much-loved children’s author Kathleen Fidler.
