In the first title, Mandy and James are devastated when they find 'their' badger sett destroyed. The two young animal lovers decide to find those responsible and seek a suitable home for the one survivor. A lovely story that keeps us wondering until the last few pages. This is a good read and a timely reminder of how devastating man's meddling in nature can be.

In the second book, Animal Ark has no room for wild animals despite its name. Mandy and James are involved in another adventure, trying to rescue an injured hedgehog and then, the most difficult job of all, releasing a hedgehog family back into the wild. With disaster lurking around every corner, we all have to wait for the creatures to make up their minds about their new home.
