A boring new house?

Boring house + puppy = adventure!

An attacking squirrel?

Evil squirrel + puppy = a squirrel-battle extraordinaire!

A daredevil brother who zooms his wheelchair into constant peril?

Rowdy sibling + puppy = calm afternoons snuggling their furry friend!

What could possibly go wrong?

When Marcus’s dog dreams finally come true, something is indeed terribly wrong. Phooey Kerflooey is eighteen pounds larger than expected. She will only eat organic lunch meat and drink from a china teacup. Plus, she is terrified of absolutely everything, including his brother’s wheelchair and that troublesome squirrel.

How can Marcus find “perfect peace,” like in Isaiah 26:3, when God has given him a whole lot of chaos?

Through a raucous tornado of personal growth, the boys and Phooey work together to save the day. But when the dust (and squirrel poo) settles, can they convince Dad and Mom to let them keep their puppy princess?

“When a free-spirited photographer and her dog clash with a rule-obsessed park ranger, you know they’re in for trouble–but the romance that follows is an absolute delight. With Yellowstone Yondering, Kristen Joy Wilks has woven a fantastical romp through Yellowstone National Park that’s not to be missed.”

–Karen Barnett, award-winning author of the Vintage National Park Series.

“A sweet and charming story set in beautiful Yellowstone Park. Slow-burn romance, comical mishaps, and heartfelt moments made this an enjoyable read.
