Publisher Summary

Meet Smiley, a young Pit bull with the world’s most infectious smile, in this companion novel to M. C. Ross’s beloved Nugly!If there’s one thing Smiley, a young Pit bull, knows how to do, it’s, well … smile! She’s had her infectious smile since she can remember, and it brings everyone around her – including herself! – joy.So when she’s adopted by a lovely family in Boston, Smiley doesn’t expect anyone to dislike her. But she quickly learns that, sadly, Pit bulls have a reputation for being mean, and even Smiley’s characteristic smile won’t be enough to make everyone love her, and her smile begins to fade …As Smiley learns to navigate a world where she’s judged by her appearance, she’ll find a way to change the hearts and minds of those around her. And maybe –just maybe – she’ll find a reason to smile once more.
