Animals abound in this freshly repackaged and adventure-filled
story from bestselling author Sharon Draper
After witnessing a tragic accident in which a doe is killed, the
boys in the Clubhouse Mysteries gang are able to rescue her
orphaned fawn. But they realize that nearby construction means the
destruction of the local animals' homes, so Ziggy, Rashawn, Jerome,
and Rico decide to take up the cause and host a backyard animal
show to raise money for the local wildlife rescue center. Dino, the
adorable rescued fawn, will be the star attraction. And given that
the boys have already tackled caring for a deer, managing their
friends' dogs, cats, and hamsters should be easy....right?
