About the Book

While exploring the woods with a friend, 12 year old Ian Roach finds a furry football-sized animal hiding in some underbrush. Neither he, nor his best friend Troy can figure out what type of animal it is - but it's certainly helpless and seems nice enough. Ian has always wanted a pet, so he brings it home and convinces his mom to let him keep it. He names his little creature Max, and soon everyone in his small Colorado town gets to meet this unusual and perky animal. It looks like a cross between a rabbit, a dog, and...something else that Ian can't quite put his finger upon. Max is an easy keeper - he eats weeds and vegetables, and he makes a chirping noise that sounds like he's saying, "Gonall." Max is extremely loyal to his new family. If anyone tries to threaten Ian or his mom, Max puffs up and...roars. Ian had always wanted a dog to protect him from two bullies that tease him mercilessly. Now it appears that Max is willing to be that protector. Max turns out to be far more than just a sweet, cuddly little animal - and Ian and the people of Quarry, Colorado will have their lives changed in ways they couldn't imagine.
About the Author: Alisa Griffis is a wife, mom, and teacher who loves to write, sing, read, and travel the world. She started her teaching career in San Bernardino, California inner city schools where she began as a 4th grade teacher. In her first years of teaching, she struggled to find high-interest read-aloud books that would "hook" her 4th grade boys into the world of fiction reading. It had to have action and adventure for the boys, animals, a bit of science, and some moments of danger - and so, Gonalls became the solution. Alisa read the book to her fourth graders in the Spring of that year, and boys and girls alike got excited about the story and couldn't wait for the next chapter. The boys and girls who first heard Gonalls are now college students - and they still write to their teacher (on FaceBook now!) and ask when it's coming out. So to her dear 4th graders: This is your book. Alisa continued to teach in San Bernardino schools (and read Gonalls each year) until 2005, when she decided to stay at home with her own children during their high school years. When her youngest graduated from high school, she went back into the classroom as a high school teacher. Alisa is also a professor at a midwestern university, teaching in a Master's in Education program and freshman writing. She wishes she could have a Gonall at home.
