If you’ve visited the Rainbow Street Shelter before you are sure to enjoy this story of a young girl, Sam, with a speech problem and her search for a pet that would be allowed for the apartment where she lives.

This is good beginner chapter book. It talks about pet ownership and briefly talks about physical challenges.
I love guinea pigs!
I Love The Serires.
