I read a book called 'Thunder from the sea'which is somehow related to the book 'Star in The Storm' Only i must say Thunder from the sea is much better, my mom read it and she evn loved it.

Wow.....................It sounds like a great book....................what's it about?

Well hard to explain so ill copy a review i found.In this novel set in Newfoundland in 1929, 13-year-old Tom Campbell, an orphan, travels to Back o' the Moon Island to live with and work for Enoch and Fiona Murray. On his first fishing trip, he rescues a young Newfoundland dog from the sea during a storm and names him Thunder. A local boy, Bert Bosworth, and his father, Amos, also want the animal, and they go to great lengths to find his original owner out of spite. Thunder is a kind, intelligent creature who several times saves the islanders from danger. After a harrowing episode in which Amos shoots and slightly injures the Newfoundland while he tries to pull villagers away from a pending tidal wave, the Bosworths realize that the dog truly belongs with Tom. When Fiona needs help with a difficult birth, Tom and Thunder prove their courage by taking her across the ice by sled during a blizzard. The book concludes with Enoch and Fiona officially adopting Tom and with Thunder's original owner giving the dog to the boy and his new family. The episodic chapters are fast paced and the narrative creates a real sense of time and place. Tom's growing affection for the Murrays and his feelings about his pet are clearly delineated. Fans of Harlow's Star in the Storm (McElderry, 2000), dog lovers, and readers yearning for a cozy tale will enjoy curling up with this story.

I have seen it and read "Star in the Storm," I will have to read it sometime.

It was a 'Mark Twain Award' Nomination, I voted for it.

I might look into it. Who's the author? Can't find a book without knowing that. Gotta follow the Dewy Decimal System. I'd have to skim through and see if it's worth my time. Really the only decent books on dogs/wolves that i've read is 'The Call of the Wild'. That one and 'Where the Red Fern Grows' which wasn't exactly based on dogs, but they were main characters.
