GUS AND GLORY has earned four starred reviews! If you love dogs, you will adore Gus, a drooling, sniffing, trouble-finding bloodhound! 📚

SARAH GUILLORY A dog with a nose for trouble. A girl on a quest for the truth. GUS GLORY * "A charming and moving novel that's sure to tug at readers' heartstrings." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "Begging to be read aloud, the writing is tight, peppered with folksy turns of phrase that manage to both drop readers into the setting and lighten up the somber circumstances. This story will satisfy both animal lovers and tween readers who like a good cry." -- School Library Journal, starred review * "Glory's voice is strong and affecting, and Gus is absolutely the goodest boy. They're two funny, poignant, memorable characters in this moving and hopeful tale about a transformative time in a girl's life, and the ways in which she and her dog leave those around them forever changed as well." -- Bookpage, starred review * "In a heart-tugging and hopeful novel from Guillory, a rambunctious bloodhound bounding nose-first through life proves to be the glue that bonds a 12-year-old to biological and found families." -- Publishers' Weekly, starred review

My next middle grade is out next year!
Emilia Sowersby and Kate Meltzer at Roaring Brook Press have acquired A Wish with Wings by Sarah Guillory (Nowhere Better Than Here; Gus and Glory). This middle grade tale follows a 12-year-old girl who cares for an abandoned whooping crane egg while she waits for her father to wake from a coma. Publication is scheduled for spring 2026; Alice Sutherland-Hawes at ASH Literary handled the deal for world rights.

A woman and her bloodhound puppy. Surprisingly, they look like each other, with grey eyes, brown and lighter brown hair, and faces that sag a little.
