The book includes two novels by the Finnish writer J. Kurvinen (1931-2002) - "Sheepdog Roy" and "Sheepdog Roy and the ninth "V". Both works are linked by common characters. They are the boy Tomi, his peers and the sheepdog Roy, rescued by Tomi under unusual circumstances. Before meeting Tomi, Roy has been through a lot. He is intelligent, understands his new master with half a word and fulfills any, even the most difficult commands. He accompanies Tomi everywhere, at the right moment comes to the rescue and even helps in catching the bandit who kidnapped a little girl. Tomi himself is a brave guy, not afraid of either the scumbag boys from the houses-basins, or armed scumbag. It is valuable that after catching the bandit, he well understands how at the height of fame is easy to become proud and turn into a self-righteous braggart. And he pulls himself back and puts himself in his place. Tomi's classmates have a difficult life: some have problems with parents, some with teachers, excellent students feud with underachievers and compete with each other. Conflict situations remotely resemble books by V. Zheleznikov, A. Thor or V. Tendryakov. Someone offers to hand over the alleged culprit to the teachers, someone turns out to be a coward, but portrays himself as a brave man. There are no purely positive and absolutely negative teenagers in the class. Each of them is ambiguous and in different situations manifests itself differently. Dissimilar in character and upbringing, at the end of the book the boys become friends, and Roy participates in the reconciliation of the parties. The book about the faithful friend Roy and the turbulent school life keeps in tension from the first to the last page and will be interesting to teenagers 12-15 years old.
