When Billy Wild's teacher asks the class to write a letter to their god, Billy's request is simple:
Please send me a dog.
So when he discovers a greyhound hiding in the shed, he decides someone must really be listening. With the help of his brothers, Billy sets out to hide her from Dad, who's far too stressed to add a dog to the mix. But keeping a greyhound a secret is a difficult task, and when Billy's classmate Paris enters them all in a local talent show, it becomes even harder!
Billy must make a big, brave, wild decision - but it's one that might save Dog and hundreds like her. And it might just make him incredible...

Recenzii
A tender, unsentimental adventure, filled with family ties, love and courage
A boy, a dog and a whole lot of awesome. LOVE this book.
Charming narrator and really touching character developments, as he sees the people around him in new light. A lovely warm-hearted read.
Very funny and so loveable.
A story about dogs, and love, and the power of words...
A warm, accessible and funny celebration of finding faith in yourself. I can't recommend it enough!
A beautifully written adventure story about a dog and the boy that found him, that perfectly captures contemporary family dynamics and a child's need to be 'incredible', wrapped up with a generous dose of humour and warm hearted love.
The author's ability to combine humour and skilful writing to show the power of love and family in overcoming all the odds make this a life-enchancing and highly recommended read. Billy Wild is incredible.
This cover comes in four different colours, supplied at random. Which one will you receive?
Billy Wild's one big wish for a dog has been answered: a greyhound has appeared in his garden shed.
Billy's pretty sure it's a miracle. He has to keep Dog a secret from Dad, though, and from Dog's old home - a cruel farm where greyhounds are bred for racing then forgotten behind bars. But hiding a dog is a hard task, and when Billy's classmate Paris enters them all in a local talent show, it gets even tougher!
It's time for Billy to do something brave, something wild, something incredible...
