About this book

Product Description When the Vet Volunteers find some abandoned ducklings, they know there's no time to lose. Without a mother, the ducklings must learn to swim on their own. But where did they come from? When Brenna and the rest of the Volunteers learn that the ducklings are abandoned Easter pets, they hatch a plan to educate their community about baby animals―but they also must teach the ducklings to swim before it's too late. About the Author Laurie Halse Anderson is an award-winning, New York Times bestselling author. Her first novel, Speak, was a National Book Award finalist and a Michael L. Printz Honor Book and established her as an important new voice in American literature. It is that rare thing, a contemporary classic. In the years since its publication, it has passed from hand to hand and changed countless lives. Speak was followed by four other highly acclaimed contemporary novels: Catalyst, Prom, Twisted, and Wintergirls. She is the recipient of the Margaret Edwards Award, and she has been honored by the National Coalition Against Censorship for her efforts to combat censoring of literature. Laurie and her husband live in northern New York State.
