So it's up to the whole family to figure out what to do with the poor guy who has no business hanging around Michigan.
Luckily for all of them, and thanks to some serious ingenuity from Keisha, the answer is closer than they ever could have imagined. Sue Stauffacher turns to her first series effort with Animal Rescue Team.
With compelling plots based on actual events in her community, Sue has created a lovable cast of characters of boys and girls, young and old, who feel like people you'd meet at your neighborhood block party. Written in an accessible and engaging style meant to appeal to those independent readers looking to be excited and entertained, and with subplots about friendship, siblings, the environment, and animal conservation, along with plenty of humor, these will be a hit with teachers and librarians, and parents, as well as kids themselves.

There were alot of things in this book that made me laugh like when Razi wanted to ride the alligator. I really enjoyed reading this book. One thing that struck me was how well this book went with our everyday life like the reference to gas prices. I could relate this book to my life because I never give up. I always am persistant until I get what I want or are working for much like the Carters with thier search for a home for the alligator.
I could use this in my classroom to teach the students about why certain animals don't make good pets.

It seems like half the neighborhood is showing up while Keisha struggles to think of a plan. While parts of the story may seem predictable, I enjoyed this read. I enjoyed the strong local setting of the book. The alligator sanctuary that shows up in the book is real as are several different characters.

It has had too mu A great new series! It has had too much human contact before the Carter family rescued it. Lots of interesting facts about alligators sprinkled through out the story; a summary of alligator facts is provided at the end of the book.
