Ben is a good student, but he doesn't like to talk in class because he stutters. On the weekends, he helps his dad in his car repair shop. Frequently, they visit a local junkyard for parts, and Ben meets Spike, the guard dog who doesn't seem very guard-like. When someone breaks into the junkyard and steals things, Spike fails to do his job, and his owner, Mr. Wayne, wants to get rid of him. Ben realizes that this is the time to speak up and save his new friend. Written by Laurie Lears, illustrated by Karen Ritz, this is a book for families or classes to share to understand the condition of stuttering.
