?Dog Years? tells the story of Stella, a clumsy, cynical, imaginative and tormented teenage girl. ?After a life-changing car accident involving a dog, she convinces herself she must count her age in dog years: one year of her life counts for seven, and now that she?s turning sixteen, she is a centennial.
