The second book in the series about lucky Neeka Wilder - who lives at a zoo!
Eleven-year-old Neeka Wilder has always loved animals and is lucky enough to live at Wilder Zoo, where her mum is head vet. The deadline for the school reading challenge is only a few days away and Neeka has a lot of reading to do. Then a wild storm hits. Emergency evacuation plans are put in place and even Neeka's bedroom turns into an animal nursery.
But when the rain stops and the clean-up begins, focusing on reading becomes Neeka's biggest challenge.
