I just finished Seaglass Summer written by Anjali Banerjee. This book tells the story of Poppy's month-long visit to Nisqually Island, Washington to stay with her veterinarian uncle. Poppy LOVES animals, but due to her mother's allergy to anything with fur, Poppy has never been able to have a pet. She dreams of being a veterinarian herself one day, and is so excited to spend this time with Uncle Sanjay at the Furry Friends Animal Clinic. She quickly learns the the joy of working with animals--and the challenges.I enjoyed reading chapter after chapter of Poppy's adventures at the vet clinic, as well as the time she is able to spend with Uncle Sanjay, Stu (Uncle Sanjay's sweet but gassy dog), and her new friend Hawk. Poppy learns a lot about herself and what she is able to accomplish when she puts her mind to it.
I would highly recommend this story and have already gifted it to a few of my animal-loving friends.
