Do you like animals? This book is all about rescuing animals. It will grab your imagination, and keep you reading page after page. Shannon and her younger brother Cody had no idea what to expect, when their parents told them they would be spending the summer with their Uncle Neal. As they arrived, he had no place to live but fortunately his good friend Jackie had three rooms. He gladly took the offer, but when he was rescuing an animal he got clawed and couldn’t do his job fro a couple months. Shannon saw the sadness in his eyes and gladly agreed to take while he healed. Shannon ended up being a great help to Jackie’s center. Shannon risked her life saving the animals as her Uncle Neal had. She never gave up, even if it meant saving a baby seal during a high tide.
I thought Jackie’s Wild Seattle was a slower advancer book and mainly written for younger children. I would recommend it for elementary scholars.
