Jan Spivey Gilchrist

Both Jace and his puppy Thinker are poets, but Thinker has to keep quiet in public. When Thinker is allowed to go to school with Jace on Pets' Day, Jace doesn't want him to talk, afraid they'll both be called weird. However, that's easier said than done. When Thinker shows his true self, he gets a big surprise.
