Madison has received an ultimatum from her parents: no more strays! If she brings home one more needy animal, the trip they are supposed to take in two weeks to hear and meet Jane Goodall will be off. That's pretty important for Madi, who has been trying to learn as much about wild animals as she can. But when she and her friends find two dead beavers and then rescue two hungry kits, Madi can't help but take the babies home to save them. Keeping her parents from finding the babies is going to take ingenuity, but there is a bigger issue: who is killing the beavers?
A light and delightful adventure and mystery. The storytelling is disjointed and full of loose ends. I wasn't entirely thrilled with the behavior that was being modeled (some of which was seriously dangerous and some of it mildly unlawful). However, the overall intelligence of the story and the good advice about how to interact with wildlife was a net positive. I also enjoyed Madison's strong and inspiring character. Perfect for young animal lovers and anyone who likes cute baby animals.
