Howl Can a twelve-year-old make a difference for animals? Twelve-year-old Robin will never get over her mother's death. Nor will she forgive her father for moving the family to a small town to live with a weird grandmother. At her new school, Robin is laughingly called "Green Girl" because of an award she received and is taunted relentlessly. She decides not to care about anyone or anything. But when her pregnant dog plunges into the frozen lake, she saves the dog and hence the puppies. Robin finds she can't stop herself from caring. She begins rescuing wild animals and rehabilitates them in the barn. Robin’s father forbids her to take in more, but she rescues some skunks anyway and hides them. Other animals arrive, and soon she’s running an illegal animal shelter. When she's found out, Robin mounts a campaign to save her shelter. Will she have the guts to stand against the whole town? ISBN: 978-1-926607-25-2, $9.95, 5.125 x 7.5, trade paper, 192 pages, for ages 11+ |
