A rumor—roused by a terrible drought, and spread by jealous townsfolk—puts Randal and the Tetleys in the way of a dangerous situation, which could have dire consequences. But, with the mysterious arrival of the Tetleys’ new guard dog, a giant beast of unknown breed lovingly called “Oaf”, Randal, Mr. Tetley, and Mrs. Tetley may just make it through the harrowing event with their lives.
OAF by Samuel Brower is more a small town drama than anything else. Told from the POV of a young voice, readers are teased with suspense as the story unfolds, until the story ends with a rather beautiful, sad moment. Brower does a great job fleshing out the souls of his main characters...especially Oaf.
As always,
