To celebrate the release of the latest titles in the Grover McBane - Rescue Dog series by Claire Garth, we teamed up with publisher Black Inc. Books for your chance to win some pawsome book prize packs for the younger dog lovers.
The real Grover McBane is a Border Collie adopted by author Claire Garth from Sydney’s only charity Pound, Sydney Dogs & Cats Home. The Grover McBane - Rescue Dog book series was born from her desire to share Grover’s real life experience: his adventures, his triumphs, and his struggles. This is a series about a rescue dog, written in the eyes of a rescue dog.
We have 5 x Book Prize Packs to be won, including both titles

Squeak is a rescued kelpie puppy. He needs a new home on a farm, where he’ll have lots of room to run around. But Grover has always lived in the city. How can he help Squeak find a new forever home? What will happen to Squeak? Where will he go?
