The Zookeeper's Daughter

By Oliver Eade

Isabelle Scott is devastated to hear that she won't be able to visit her Swiss 'Mamie' (granny) that summer because Old Jamie, who helps her father run their zoo in Scotland, is ill in hospital. The thought of spending the summer holidays with her annoying young brother, Joe, and being looked after by 'Grumpy Gramps', is too much to bear... until Florence, a little white Swiss chamois, and a present from Mamie, with help from a spider who weaves a magical golden web and Old Jamie's book about animals in the wild, transports her to the freedom of those worlds of the animals in the book. But she soon discovers that, because of what humans are doing to the planet, the lives of the animals she becomes are under threat. However, her journeys, which at times include Joe, whose behaviour improves because of the magic, Elodie, her best friend in Scotland, and Ang lique, her Swiss friend, reinforce her determination to save endangered animals from extinction. Their Save the Koalas Campaign goes viral, and culminates with all four children ending up as koalas, together with Gramps, in a catastrophic bush fire like those of 2019. After they return, they set up a foundation together to help all endangered species.
