Wonderfully imagined from a dog's point of view and especially enjoyable if you've ever had a dog. The way my cats act, it's not hard to believe that a fiery Luminary could inhabit one of them. Good thing a Zoi is out of their reach...

Read this when I was a teen. So imaginative and entertaining by a master author, Diana Wynne Jones.

Sirius had to wait till she had finished and curled up again. Then she said, "The trouble with humans is that it's all or nothing with them. They seem to think anything impossible could happen in the old days. And just because these are new days, they tell you none of it is true. Now I'm going to sleep."
