![]() ![]() With warmth and humor, Anjali Banerjee tells the story of a resourceful, determined girl who can't wait to grow up, but begins to realize just how much she has left to discover. ![]() With help from a boy named Hawk, a chunk of seaglass, and a touch of intuition, Poppy gains a deeper understanding of the pain and joy of working with animals. She's not prepared for quirky pet owners, gross stuff, or scary emergencies. Banerjee’s own devotion to her furry loved ones (the book is dedicated to her beloved late kitty Monet) is certainly evident, especially when she writes about Uncle Sanjay. But she learns that there's more to caring for animals than the stethoscope and cotton swabs in her Deluxe Veterinarian First-Aid Kit. Anjali Banerjee‘s latest for middle-grade readers is another breezy fun read with just enough heartfelt moments that will make even us wizened adults shed a tear or two. She loves tending to the dogs, cats, and even a bird, and she discovers the fun of newborn puppies and the satisfaction of doing a good job. This summer, she's going to spend a month with her uncle Sanjay, veterinarian and owner of the Furry Friends Animal Clinic on an island off the Washington coast. Eleven-year-old Poppy Ray longs to be a veterinarian, but she's never had a pet. ![]()
