What to expect

Bloomsbury presents How to Save an Otter by Kate Messner, read by Rita Yee

From the bestselling author of the Ranger in Time series, Kate Messner, comes an adventurous new chapter book series about a family dedicated to rescuing animals.

Ivy and Ezra are “critter couriers” whose family volunteers to transport injured and orphaned animals to their local wildlife hospital.

When they discover a baby river otter with a hurt leg, Ivy worries about the little otter being separated from its family--a feeling she knows all too well. She’s struggled to make new friends since her twin cousin BFFs moved away.

Taking on a big project for the wildlife hospital keeps her busy, but can she find the confidence she needs to make it a success, build new friendships, and help the otter heal enough to return to the wild?
