The Appletree Animal Agency by Katya Balen, Illustrated by Gill Smith

Mattie’s great plans can sometimes go a bit awry!

Her friend Zoe is used to her madcap schemes but it all goes wrong when they become apprentices to the new vet, Dr Polly.

Discovering a puppy with a poorly leg, Mattie rescues it, naming her Luna, and brings her to Dr Polly’s rescue centre.

The problem is, there are so many animals at the centre who need to find their forever homes, that the vet cannot accept anymore animals.

Mattie, Zoe and Dr Polly’s son, Casper decide it is up to them to help the animals find new homes, but is this one of Mattie’s schemes and what will happen to Luna?

A warm hearted adventure for all the animal lovers out there!

Who could resist Mattie’s kindness and care and her keen sense of right and wrong? I found myself rooting for her right from the very beginning.

Mattie, Zoe and Casper make a super team and with this being the  first in a new series by the wonderful author; Katya Balen, we are promised more fabulous adventures to come.

Gill Smith’s illustrations are guaranteed to make you smile!

A great read for those newly confident in reading, with short chapters and plenty of adventure.

Thank you to Walker Books for the review copy
