Boy's Best Friend
What's This Book About
Eleven-year-old George has a dog, Bart, who seems to know everything about him–from when he is feeling sad to when he will arrive home from school. George’s new neighbor and classmate, Lester, also has a dog, Bill Gates, and Lester thinks he is the smartest animal in the world. When their teacher assigns a school science project about animal behavior, George and Lester decide to conduct an experiment based on the world-famous Rupert Sheldrake’s experiments about dogs. George even has an e-mail exchange with Dr. Sheldrake to help him with the project–and he and Lester soon find out that, through a few simple experiments, kids can make scientific discoveries, too. Award-winning author Kate Banks teams up with world-famous Ruper Sheldrake in Boy’s Best Friend to create a book that’s sure to be a hit with dog lovers and little scientists everywhere.

The Creatives Behind the Book
When I am asked what I do for a job, I am often tempted to say that I don’t work. That’s because I am lucky enough to do something I love for a living. For me my writing has been a place where head meets heart and that is the place I wish to take my readers—whether it be an outer journey or an inner journey. Because that’s the place of realization where anything is possible. When I’m not writing or practicing therapy, I love playing the piano, doing pottery, puttering around outdoors, and cooking. I especially like making birthday cakes, but I hate cleaning up. And I love being with children. I love watching them and listening to them as much as I love writing for them. I am a huge fan of the Boston Red sox, the brain and what it can do, and imagination—all of which have limitless potential and can accomplish the seemingly impossible.
