Conker

by Michael Morpurgo

When Stevie Rooster mocks Nick about his old dog’s death, Nick angrily tosses Stevie’s prized conker into the pond. But Grandma has a better idea for revenge: beat Stevie at his own game and become the Conker King of Jubilee Park. To do that, Nick needs conkers from a tree in the abandoned scrapyard—where he discovers a thin, hungry dog that looks just like his beloved old pet. Can Nick save the dog and claim the conker crown?
