I Am Rebel

by Ross Montgomery · Ages 8–12 · Grades 3–6

Rebel is Tom's dog, and Tom is his human. When war comes too close and Tom runs off to join the Reds, Rebel follows — through Connick, a talking pig, a masterless stray named Jaxon, fire, a river, wolves, and a charge under a red neckerchief — then sends Jaxon to a family that will let him be who he is.
