North To Benjamin is a novel by Alan Cumyn.

Edgar and his mother have gone up north to the town of Dawson in the Northwest Territories to house sit for a couple of months. In his life, Edgar and his mom have spent a lot of time traveling from one town to another, and as such, he's quite used to it. What has Edgar excited about this move, however, is the fact that the couple they are house sitting for has also asked them to look after their dog, Benjamin.

As soon as they arrive, Edgar and his mom are given the welcome wagon in the form of Ceese and his daughter, Caroline. From there, Edgar and his mother seem to settle in quite nicely. Edgar and Caroline have hit it off, Edgar is quite taken by Benjamin, and Edgar's mom seems to fancy Ceese quite a bit, and vice versa.

However, Ceese has a girlfriend who's really friendly.

And what's worse, Edgar has all of a sudden found himself only able to communicate like a dog (though it [=DOES=] come with the added bonus of being able to understand Benjamin's words).

North To Benjamin was released on December 4th, 2018.
