Surprise at the Beach

Cover of book titled Surprise at the Beach

Luke and his rescue dog always love hanging out at the beach when the time allows: plenty of open space to run around, waves crashing gently over soft golden sand, and all practically on his doorstep. What’s not to like?

But one trip is unlike any other – Buddy unexpectedly sniffs out a tiny wee kitten in the sand dunes who is obviously very lost. Tending to the poor creature back at home, Luke starts to feel attached, despite needing to return the kitten to its rightful owners.

Upon leaving the kitten in a household with two very unruly children, he is uneasy about whether or not he’s done the right thing, until he hears the family are trying to find him a new home.

Will Luke be able to keep the kitten? Or will someone else get to him first…?

Review Excerpts

“A man, a dog, and a kitten come together in Bellringer’s playful novella… Luke Garrick is a builder by trade who likes to take his rescue dog Buddy to the local beach; Buddy gets his kicks chasing after seagulls. One day, there is a surprise: Buddy comes across a kitten among the dunes… A fun, if minimally dramatic, tale of human and animal bonding.” Kirkus Review, 2024
