Bears in the barn

by Jean Little

All animals and animal lovers are welcome at the Animal Ark Veterinary Clinic. At Animal Ark, Mandy Hope helps her parents treat animals of all shapes and sizes. Even outside the clinic, Mandy can't resist helping any animal in need. Camping in Arkansas, Mandy and James are excited to spot a mother bear and her two cubs. Now they've been invited to help track the bears on their journey cross-country, back to their own territory. But there are so many hazards-busy highways, rivers, hostile farmers-that Mandy wonders if the bear family will ever find its way home! Can Mandy help the bears complete their long journey?
