Annie Shearer lives in the country town of Upson Downs with her best friend. an adopted stray dog called Runt. The two share a very special bond. After years evading capture, Runt is remarkably fast and agile, perfect for herding runaway sheep.
But when a greedy local landowner puts her family's home at risk, Annie directs Runt's extraordinary talents towards a different pursuit - winning the Agility Course Grand Championship at the lucrative Krumpets Dog Show in London. However, there is a curious catch: Runt will only obey Annie's commands if nobody else is watching.
Can Annie and Runt win the day and save her farm? Runt is written by Australian Craig Silvey, whose 2009 book Jasper Jones has won awards in three continents.
Runt is out now through Allen & Unwin and, to celebrate, we have 15 copies to give away.
To enter, colour in the picture and then ask your parent or carer to take a photograph and email it to
funday@sundaytelegraph.com.au Please put Runt in the subject line and fill in the coupon so that we can contact you if you are a winner. It also helps to put your details at the top of the email as sometimes Harry the dog finds it hard to read handwriting.
Entries must be in by Thursday so the winners can be published on the Health Hacker page in next week's Sunday Telegraph. Harry the dog and the Funday team will pick only the best 15 entries to receive the books, so get creative.
