Four purrfect stories for animal-loving, newly independent readers

Florence the dog goes on vacation with her family in "Florence Takes the Lead," and Ben finds that a vacation can involve a little bit of work, especially when the work involves giving animals a better life! "Lost in Translation" finds Cassie and Ben organizing a dog-washing fundraiser for the RSPCA, at which a student vet helps with an emergency four-legged patient. Cassie and Ben are looking after a cat whose owners are away when the cat falls ill. For Cassie, Ben, and Dr. Joe, the hunt is on to find what has caused her illness in "Ruby's Misadaventure." In "A New Home for Cocoa," the friends lend a hand to a classmate who is getting a new kitten and must choose where to get the kitten, what to look for, and more.

David Harding is the author of Florence Takes the Lead and A New Home for Cocoa. Helen Kelly is the author of Lost in Translation and Ruby's Misadventure.
