Publisher Description
From the author of the international bestseller The Book Thief and new novel Bridge of Clay.
"You're a bit of a lonely bastard, aren't you?" said Rube.
"Yeah," I answered, "I guess I am."
But Cameron Wolfe is hungry. He's sick of being the filthy, torn, half-smiling, half-scowling underdog.
He's finally met a girl.
He's got words in his spirit.
And now he's out to prove that there's nothing more beautiful than an underdog who's willing to stand up.
PRAISE FOR WHEN DOGS CRY
"The intersection of the characters is a real strength ... a story of family dynamics and coming of age" School Library Journal
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Fans of The Outsiders will love the gritty and compelling conclusion to Markus Zusak's Wolfe Brothers trilogy. Set in the streets of working-class, inner-city Sydney, When Dogs Cry follows the youngest Wolfe brother, Cameron—an outcast, underdog and lone wolf. The gripping story details Cameron’s intense experience of first love—with his beloved brother’s ex-girlfriend—and charts the young man's struggles to carve out a place in his close-knit family. You don’t need to have read the previous books to enjoy this classic Australian coming-of-age story, but chances are you’ll want to devour the entire series.

When dogs cry
I loved this book. The loneliness of Cam and the closeness of the family. I also loved that it was in Sydney and I knew all the places they went.
Cam's dog writing was poetic.
A great read.

This book is amazing, perfection even. It is like living life in slow motion going through all the little things slowly and being supplied with an insightful decription of all the small things. It highlights the smallest but the most prominent aspects Cameron’s life. Most importantly the the moral was projected through a normal childs life through normal events. The book wasn’t about the great quest bestowed upon the main character to slay the dragon, Cameron is veiwed as a normal child going through mainly normal things. The summary is also great, subtle yet effective.
