For fans of Balto and other real-life dog stories, here's a heavily illustrated middle-grade novel about a canine movie star of the 1920s, dramatically told in both words and pictures by an acclaimed author and a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator. When movie director Larry Trimble travels to Berlin searching for his next big star-a dog! He finds Etzel, a fierce, highly trained three-year-old German shepherd police dog. Larry sees past the snarls and growls and brings Etzel back to Hollywood, where he is renamed Strongheart. Along with screenwriter Jane Murfin, Larry grooms his protege to be a star of the silver screen-and he succeeds, starting with Strongheart's first film, The Love Master, which is released in 1921. Strongheart is soon joined by a leading lady, a German shepherd named Lady Julie, and becomes a sensation. Touching, charming, playful, and based on real events, this moving tale by Candace Fleming and illustrated by Eric Rohmann tells all about "the wonder dog" who took America by storm.

Amazing Read

i would recommend someone to read this because it is very engaging and will be one of my top favorite books, the engagement that i had throughout this book was amazing.  The book was easy to understand. Throughout all the chapters it was always different and didn't feel like a repeat. Following along the story of the dog was great and easy to understand. I would recommend this to anyone who loves dogs. The best part is this is a true story.  This book explains how strongheart becomes a canine superstar, and its details of how are fulfilling.
