Notes from the Dog-Paulsen

Finn is looking forward to summer vacation. His goal is to talk to no more than twelve people all summer. His dad, his buddy, Matthew, and his dog, Dylan, that only leaves room for nine more. That all changes when Joanna enters his life. She is a college student who is house- sitting next door. She seems to know just what Finn needs to bring him out of his shell. Finn ends up working harder than he could have imagined. He also ends up caring more about Joanna then he knew he could.
