Few authors can touch Isabel Allende’s literary fame. The Presidential Medal of Freedom and Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters recipient brings her immense talents to children’s literature with Perla the Mighty Dog. The titular character is small, but she has big talents: She can make anyone love her, and she can “roar like a lion.” But can she use these talents to protect her human brother, Nico Rico, from being bullied at school?
