Keisha and her family are just sitting down to Saturday-morning breakfast when the phone rings. Uh-oh! There seems to be a skunk at the community garden, and it’s dug a hole under the shed. At the same time, Mr. Sanders can’t deliver the mail to a certain house: crows keep dive-bombing him when he gets near the mailbox. Time for the Animal Rescue Team to spring into action! This time they’ve got two mysteries to solve: What could crows have against mail delivery? And what really dug that hole at the community garden–as Mama knows, it’s too big to have been dug by a skunk. Once again, it’ll take the whole team, along with help from some new friends, to sort out what, and who, is creating all this mayhem around town.
Sue Stauffacher turns to her first series effort with Animal Rescue Team.
