Trapped

Trapped was a awsome book it has adventure and great for people who love animals(like me)! It is about Sunita having to go into a hurricane to face her biggest fear and to rescue a speciel cat!

Manatee Blues

A complete joy to the heart as Brenna takes a wonderful trip to "Gold Coast Rescue Center". However the center is a little short on cash... and soon they'll be 'outa luck! Read this heart warming story to find out what Brenna Lake does and the magical ending to be told.

A Good Book

It begins sad because Sunita, one of the Wild At Heart volunteers, has to get surgery for her cat Mittens in an emergency. It makes her upset, so she decides to leave Wild At Heart and instead recieves an internship to a lab. She finds out the lab does animal testing there. Torn between right and wrong, she finally decides it's okay, but Brenna, another volunteer, sticks up for the animal. I won't tell you the end, but unlike the previous review, I really DO recommend the book. NOTE: READ the PREVIOUS BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
