WEBSTER, by Ellen Emerson White

The story: Webster (formerly called Beast, now known to his friends as Bad Hat) has had it with humans. They love you, then they leave you–most likely at a nasty animal shelter. Or even worse, they’re mean and then they leave you. When Webster ends up at Green Meadows Rescue Home, he’s determined not to make friends, not to like the great food, not to trust the humans. Instead, he’s got a plan: run away and have adventures. Who knew that all those adventures would just keep cycling him right back to Green Meadows? Any maybe even turn him into a hero?

The library lady says:  Webster is a fun, funny character. Animal lovers and kids who like a sassy narrator will both eat this one up!
