Owl in the Office

Owl in the Office is in a series called Animal Ark. The Animal Ark Series is about Mandy Hope, a veterinarian's daughter, who helps her mom and dad in the clinic while solving problems with her best friend, James Hunter. Mandy and James stumble upon a baby owl that fell from a tree. The two friends take it to Animal Ark, Mandy's parents' veterinary clinic. After the owl's check up, Dr. Emily Hope (Mandy's mom) James, and Mandy take the owl to the sanctuary where it canrecover from the fall. Once inside, they realize the sanctuary needs money, FAST. Mandy and James decide to raise money for the sanctuary by having the Grand Novelty Pet Show. If the show is successful, the sanctuary will keep running. But if the show isn't successful, Betty Hilder, the owner of the sancuary will have to give the animals away. But if people don't want them, they will have to be put down. Can Mandy and James save the sanctuary? I love this book because it's about animals and mysteries. So, if you like animals or mysteries or even both, then I would recommend this book and series. I love this series, especially this book.

the best animal ark book!

This is a great book for animal lovers! When Mandy and her friend James learn that the animal sancuary is going to close because of money problems, they organize an event to save it! This is probably the best book in the Animal Ark series!

One Of My Favorites

The animal shelter in Welford has to close down because they don't have enough money to keep it open. Mandy and James have to find a way to raise money for the animal shelter's rent so the animals will be able to continue living at the shelter until they find homes.

Couldn't put it down (unless I was tired)

I thought the book was really good. I liked Blackie the dog, because he always stole cupcakes and cakes! I always like a book with a happy ending like this one.

Smep's Review

I think that "Owl in the Office" is a very good and creative book. It is a great book for animal lovers like me. I have read three other Animal Ark books, but the best one I read was "Owl in the Office." Once I started to read it, I got so involved - I never wanted to stop reading, and I wanted the book to go on forever. After reading the book, I was very happy that Mandy Hope had put all of her heart into the work to save all the animals in need. I thought the book was so good that I leant it to a friend of mine. In the book, it shows how kind and sweet Mandy Hope is. It also shows how much she cares for animals. I think that other people should care for animals as much as her.I care for animals just as much. The book also tells you a lot of facts about owls and their young ones. I hope that after reading the book, people will pay more attention to animals and their young.
