Biographies & Memoirs

When Martin McKenna was growing up in 1970s Ireland, he felt the whole world knew him as just “that stupid boy.” Badly misunderstood by his family and teachers, Martin escaped from endless bullying by running away from home and eventually adopting—or being adopted by—six street dogs. An emotional and poignant story seasoned with humor, The Boy Who Talked to Dogs is an inspiration to anyone who’s ever been told they won’t amount to anything.
