When Gray Ghost, a champion show-jumper is injured in an accident, Mr. Merrill, his owner, wants the animal destroyed, but Valentine Taylor, the veterinarian's daughter, is determined to save the horse
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 3-6 Val Taylor, eighth-grade future veterinarian, helps her dad out by assisting him at his clinic, Animal Inn. Amid ailing cats and pregnant rabbits, a call comes in requesting help for a champion hunter horse who has crashed a fence. Upon learning that his world champion is not lame but in fact going blind, and thus no longer a financial asset, the owner orders the horse destroyed. Val, outraged, hatches a plan to save ``The Ghost.'' Simply written and rather predictable, Pets. . . nonetheless promotes familial responsibility and love that extend to the animals around us. Val's young take-charge personality, her friend Toby, and the rest of the Taylor family should keep young animal lovers coming back for more Animal Inn entries. This lightweight series would be a nice introduction to Nancy Saxon's ``Panky'' stories (Atheneum) and Jean Doty's horse stories, such as Can I Get There By Candlelight (Macmillan, 1980).
