The bus drove right on past and all Eliza's friends peered out to see where she'd gone. It was a mystery. A scandal. Eliza's disappearance was the hottest trending topic online. People knew something was up, but what?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nobody knew she was with me, Montgomery Ferguson, the lowest of the low. So it was that I first got to hang out with Eliza Robertson, the hottest girl in school with a heart of sheer contempt.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I couldn't have been happier.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On his fifteenth birthday, Monty is at rock bottom. Ignored by his parents, bullied at school, and with a brain that's prone to going walkabout, he's all by himself. Until he meets the black dog for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It's just like any other dog, except that only Monty can see it. And it talks. And Monty's not sure whether it's a friend - or a foe. But the black dog gets him talking to pretty, popular Eliza Robertson for the first time. It takes him to places he's never been. And eventually it will take him, and the people around him, to the very edge.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Hounded is a book about depression and working out who you really are, from one of Australia's most prolific children's television writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781743053959\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wakefield Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43016091533375,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/16441273482808.jpg?v=1773743519","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/the-hounded-by-simon-butters","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
