Wildlife rescue and finding confidence

Ivy and Ezra’s role as “critter couriers” brings them into contact with a baby river otter whose injured leg needs care. The rescue connects Ivy’s concern for the animal with her own experience of feeling separated from people she loves: her twin cousins and close friends have moved away, and making new friends has been difficult. As Ivy takes on a project for the wildlife hospital, the story weaves animal care together with questions of confidence, friendship, and helping a wild animal recover. The 128-page chapter book also introduces a family whose volunteer work centers on transporting injured and orphaned animals to a local wildlife hospital.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in animal-rescue stories
  • Readers who enjoy stories about friendship and building confidence
  • Young readers curious about wildlife hospitals and animal care

Book overview

From the bestselling author of the Ranger in Time series, Kate Messner, comes an adventurous new chapter book series about a family dedicated to rescuing animals.

Ivy and Ezra are "critter couriers" whose family volunteers to transport injured and orphaned animals to their local wildlife hospital.

When they discover a baby river otter with a hurt leg, Ivy worries about the little otter being separated from its family--a feeling she knows all too well. She's struggled to make new friends since her twin cousin BFFs moved away.

Taking on a big project for the wildlife hospital keeps her busy, but can she find the confidence she needs to make it a success, build new friendships, and help the otter heal enough to return to the wild?
