ANIMAL RESCUE FRIENDS GN

Welcome to Animal Rescue Friends, where any stray can find a friendly face-furry or otherwise. This first collection of middle-grade comics includes five tales of found family: A lonely girl living in the suburbs finds happiness with a stray pit bull; a protective mama ferret and her six kits learn to trust a shelter volunteer; a shy boy stands up for himself with the help of a strong-willed bunny; a cantankerous cat helps to mend a troubled relationship; and the shelter\'s unofficial mascot eventually finds a home. Available in softcover and hardcover editions. (W) Loveless Gina, Meika Hashimoto (A) Genevieve Kote
