My 9 year old daughter is need a lot of encouragement to read. With this series I never have to remind her to read! She loves them!

Awesome Book

Zoe, the main character lives with her grandma because her mom is an actress in Hollywood,CA. Her grandma gives her a dog and she names it Sneakers. Zoe's grandma runs the Wild at Heart Animal Clinic. One of the clinic's patients is Yum-Yum, a dog that visits children at the hospital who have cancer. The children teach Yum-Yum tricks and everything. Yum-Yum is the highlight of their day. Yum-Yum's ower takes Yum-Yum to Wild at Heart Animal Clinic and they find a tumor. I think this was a very good book. I think it is a good book for people who like animals, especially dogs.

Best summer reading!!

This book was about a dog, Yum Yum, who entertained the children at the cancer hospital. I loved Yum Yum and so did the children in the book. Yum Yum stole a place in my heart!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to read all the wild at heart books!

Saying Good-Bye

This story takes you with Zoe,a girl who lives with her grandma nad her cousin Maggie.She has a dog named Sneakers who is very not-behaved. She helps work with her grandma as a vert volunteer along 4 other children who all love animals. In this adventure the story meets Zoe's favorite customer ,cute little Shih Tzu Yum-Yum.Yum-Yum is owned by Jane,a hairstyliist and she loves t do Yum-Yum's hair too ! Well Yum-Yum who is very well trained goes to the hospitial and sees kids wit cancer.It helps cheer them up and get happiness. When one little girl mentions that YUM-Yum has stinky breath Jane gets allworried because she does brush his teeth everyday and he has treatments.After they leave the hospitial they go see Zoe's grandma for a checkup on Yum-Yum. The results aren't very well. They found a cancerous tumor ,will they have to say Good Bye ? This is a great book and I really loved it. I am an animal lover so that's one reason I loved this book.It also is realistic,not everything is all happy all the time ,this book was also very sad as you feel like you become Zoe you feel like her ,cry with her, and rejoice with her. I believe any animal lover ought to read this.
