After
getting caught stealing a car, Kevin is assigned to an animal-rescue agency
to serve his community service hours. Two teenaged volunteers, Tracy and
her older brother Luke, teach Kevin about caring for the rescued animals.
The trio’s dangerous adventures begin when heavy rains cause the river
to break through the levee and they offer to take food to a stranded pet.
This fast-paced story that will appeal to reluctant readers quickly unfolds
when the group investigates a suspected burglary at an unoccupied home.
