It all started when Julie and her best friend Ivy found a baby Owl in a meadow,and did not know what to do with it. So they asked a kind lady who they had been talking to earlier on what to do with it. She said to go to the Randall Museum because they have a place for hurt wild animals and someone is sure to know what to do!
So they wrapped up the poor baby owl and rode their bikes to the Museum. Sure enough someone was there to help the baby owl. The woman's name was Robin and she looked at the shaking and blinking baby owl. She asked if the owl was blinking and shaking the whole time and Julie replied that it was. Robin was very worried that the baby owl had ate something poisonous! She said that it may not make it through the night, but she hoped it would! Robin said that Julie could come the next day to check on the baby owl.
The next day when Julie came to see the baby owl, Robin had some bad news. The baby owl had to go to the vet because they all thought he needed more care. But then she told her she had a surprise for Julie! She took her to the room with all the animals and took her to a cage with beautiful bald eagles! She said their names are Shasta and Sierra. Then she took Julie to a cage with baby eagles in it! Julie asked if they will ever let them go and she said that they have to make a hack tower and that costs one thousand dollars to build! Julie was so sad that she new that she had to do something! Then at school she had a brilliant idea!..
What was Julie's brilliant idea? Read Julie and the Eagles by Megan McDonald!

Kailey
This book is about a girl named Kailey who loves tide pools, snorkeling and boogie boarding with her best friend Tess at their local beach.
One day when they got onto the beach they saw a sign that said a Commercial Cove Resort was going to be made soon! It was going to be made on the bluff. The resort was going to have a movie theater with twelve screens, a hotel, and stairs on the rocks to make it easier to get to and from the beach. Kailey thought that part was cool until she found out they will be removing the boulders were the tide pools were! Kailey did not like the idea of that because she loves those tide pools and does not want that to happen to all of her friends! So she promised all her sea friends that she will not let them die!
One busy day on the weekend Kailey was thinking about the tide pools when all of the sudden Tess screams and falls on one rock after another, and when she reached the bottom, she could not put weight on one of her feet. They call Tess's mom and tell her to come and pick her up. The next day Kailey comes to visit to see that Tess is all banged up with a cast on her leg.
Will Kailey stop this boulder moving? Will Tess turn out ok?

A Dogs Life
A Dogs Life is a story of a stray pup born in a unused shed in the Merrions yard. The mother of the pup was very pregnant when she found this very warm and comfy shed. She had to share it with cats and mice.
That night she slept in straw, then in the morning she found a wheelbarrow and gave birth to five puppies. Two were born dead, one only lived for a hour, so that made only two left. Dogs name their pups after what they like so the girl pup(who is the main dog in this story) was named Squirrel, and the boy pup was named Bone.
Squirrel and Bone loved to play quietly and hid behind the shed. Their mother taught them how to hunt small animals to eat and taught them how to stay clear of humans.
One day mother was going to get food from the garbage heap and she never came back to their nest in the shed. One day a Merrion boy found the pups and started to feed them chicken every day. One day Bone heard the sound of a gun and left the shed towards the woods with Squirrel at his heels.
Where will they go? Will they survive?

The Tiger Rising
This book is about a boy named Rob who lives with his dad. One day when Rob was walking to school he saw a tiger all caged up. The tiger was pacing back and forth. When he got to the bus stop all he could think about was the tiger! But when he got on the bus, two bullies disturbed his thoughts. While the bullies were attacking him, the bus stopped more early than usual. Then a girl stepped on the bus. She had on a pink dress and, where he goes to school, no girl ever wears a dress! The girl called herself Sistine, like the chapel.
During class, while Rob was busy drawing the tiger, his name was called, but he did not hear it at all, then it was even louder and he heard it loud and clear! It was the teacher and she said to go to the principal. So Rob did and the principal said that there had been complaints from parents,they think that his rash is contagious! So the principal said that he has to stay home till the rash is gone. And in Rob's head he new his rash would never be healed.
A couple days later, the man who had the tiger, gave him the keys so he could feed him and get paid. When Rob told Sistine she told him they should free him! Rob said no but he thought about it.
Will they free the tiger? Will his legs heal? Read this book, The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo, to find these answers and much more!
