This is a fictionalized version of a true story. It is on the 2018-19 Great Stoneface nominee list. Back in the 1920's, when movies did not have sound, animals were sometimes the main characters. Strongheart was such a dog. He starred in six real movies that were huge hits. He became a movie star. This is based on many of the events of his life, with some extra things added to make it a fun and exciting read. The illustrations by Caldecott Award medalist Eric Rohmann are beautiful. In the final pages of the book, the reader will find the true facts of the dog's life with some photos. (FIC FLE)
