It is not hyperbole to say that M. T. Anderson is one of the greatest living writers, in any genre and for every age group. It might even be an understatement. --Adam Gidwitz, author of The Inquisitor's Tale, a Newbery Honor Book Writing with his characteristic precision, Anderson melds the fantastic with the everyday to often riotous effect while also gently schooling Clay and readers in cross-cultural communication. It all comes to a thrilling climax on Midsummer's Eve before a bittersweet, perfectly pitched denouement. Wu's lovely, textured pencil drawings add eldritch warmth. . . . A hilarious, heartfelt triumph. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Revisiting the setting of his Norumbegan Quartet and layering the everyday with intriguing lands and creatures, Anderson expertly balances the anguish of pandemic-era isolation with the transporting joys of new friendships. Stylized b&w pencil art from Wu punctuate this wryly told fantasy. --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Delightful, amusing, and imaginative! Elf Dog and Owl Head proves that great stories are good medicine. --Cynthia Leitich Smith, best-selling author of Sisters of the Neversea A veritable plum pudding of energetic action and witty delights, but a foundation of traditional folklore elements--standing stones, half-buried sleeping giants, fairy mischief, portals to the underworld, the Wild Hunt, and predatory wyrms--creates an underlying hint of genuine menace. . . . Balancing this chill is the devoted relationship between Clay and his dog companion, a theme that stands sturdily in the middle of the mayhem. Black-and-white full-page pencil illustrations contribute to both coziness and eeriness. --The Horn Book A charming, fantastical spin on the familiar kid/dog story, right down to their tragic separation being quickly followed by a heartwarming reunion. . . . There's a lot for contemporary kids to relate to here: Clay's loneliness, his sister's anger at being forced to stay home, his parents' constant worry, and the general unfairness of the entire situation. Holding all that chaotic emotion together and framing it with a well-developed fantasy world is an impressive feat, and Anderson, as usual, does it with aplomb. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This playful romp pulls magic into the mundane and gives regular kids the chance to be heroes while Wu's cross-hatched pencil illustrations dust the proceedings with further enchantment. --Booklist Themes of the unbreakable bonds of friendship, sibling relationships, the love between a boy and his dog, and the triumph of good over evil play out in this page-turner of a novel . . . .Students will be drawn to this clever, magical novel. --School Library Connection Themes of the unbreakable bonds of friendship, sibling relationships, the love between a boy and his dog, and the triumph of good over evil play out in this page-turner of a novel. Many chapters end on a cliff hanger, making this title an ideal read aloud. . . . Students will be drawn to this clever, magical novel . --School Library Connection The author creates an unusual, relatable world as the backdrop for a story of friendship and love. Young readers will connect with a boy's close bond with his dog and they'll empathize with his struggles to save it. --Young Adult Books Central Graced with evocative black-and-white illustrations by Junyi Wu, Elf Dog and Owl Head is heartfelt and exhilarating, wry and poignant, seamlessly merging the fantastic and the familiar in a tale both timely and timeless. --Young Adult Books Central, Writing with his characteristic precision, Anderson melds the fantastic with the everyday to often riotous effect while also gently schooling Clay and readers in cross-cultural communication.

Synopsis
A Newbery Honor Book "A hilarious, heartfelt triumph."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From the singular imagination of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson comes a magical adventure about a boy and his dog--or a dog and her boy--and a forest of wonders hidden in plain sight. Clay has had his fill of home life. A global plague has brought the world to a screeching halt, and with little to look forward to but a summer of video-calling friends, vying with annoying sisters for the family computer, and tuning out his parents' financial worries, he's only too happy to retreat to the woods. From the moment the elegant little dog with the ornate collar appears like an apparition among the trees, Clay sees something uncanny in her. With this mysterious Elphinore as guide, he'll glimpse ancient secrets folded all but invisibly into the forest. Each day the dog leads Clay down paths he never knew existed, deeper into the unknown. But they aren't alone in their surreal adventures. There are traps and terrors in the woods, too, and if Clay isn't careful, he might stray off the path and lose his way forever. Graced with evocative black-and-white illustrations by Junyi Wu, Elf Dog and Owl Head is heartfelt and exhilarating, wry and poignant, seamlessly merging the fantastic and the familiar in a tale both timely and timeless.
