Tia’s mum is a busy vet in a city practice. Tia would love to help out – and see more of her mum – but it’s not allowed. Then Mum gets a new job: she’ll be the vet on an island, looking after all its animals, and she’ll definitely need Tia’s help. Indeed, there are patients queuing up to be seen even as the two of them get off the ferry!
The new life is not without drama and excitement – a possible sea monster washed up by a storm – but it’s a dream come true for Tia and her adventures will be blissful reading for young animal lovers.
A vet herself, Gill Lewis introduces us to Tia’s new island friends, human and animal, with real warmth and humour and these stories are set to be huge favourites. Published by dyslexia specialists Barrington Stoke, they’re accessible to all too.
