The Dollar KidsWhen a family buys a house in a struggling town for just one dollar, they're hoping to start over but have they traded one set of problems for another?

It not only seems like the perfect escape from Flintlock and all of the awful memories
When a family buys a house in a struggling town for just one dollar, they're hoping to start over -- but have they traded one set of problems for another? Twelve-year-old Lowen Grover, a budding comic-book artist, is still reeling from the shooting death of his friend Abe when he stumbles across an article about a former mill town giving away homes for just one dollar. It not only seems like the perfect escape from Flintlock and all of the awful memories associated with the city, but an opportunity for his mum to run her very own business. Fortunately, his family is willing to give it a try. But is the Dollar Program too good to be true? The homes are in horrible shape, and the locals are less than welcoming. Will Millville and the dollar house be the answer to the Grovers' troubles? Or will they find they've traded one set of problems for another? From the author of Small as an Elephant and Paper Things comes a heart-tugging novel about guilt and grief, family and friendship, and, above all, community.Binding Type: Hardcover

Lovely Salmon
Our dog LOVES this toy. She loves it so intensely we had to purchase a second salmon. She is a (smaller) medium sized dog and it took her about a year to even half tear a fin. This brand is our favorite and we are slowly collecting every toy they make.

Dog loves this toy
Our Golden Retriever loves this toy, I would recommend it for that reason. But she did manage to chew off the smaller fins within the first couple of days. But considering she is pretty rough on her toys, I would still recommend it.

My dog loves his fish!
It's very strong and durable except for the patch on it my dog removed it in 10 minutes but the fish itself is holding up great!

Tall lost Tail
Simba went fishing for a good time, but it looks like the fish toy got hooked on destruction instead - gone in 20 minutes!
