Wilder Zoo (Book 1): Neeka and the Missing Key

Strachan, Tina/ Hamilton, Max

When you live in a zoo – things can get wild!

Eleven-year-old Neeka Wilder has always loved animals.

She wants to be a vet one day, like her mum who is the head vet at Wilder Zoo – where Neeka and her family live!

Neeka is a great help to the zoo staff in caring for the animals. And with her two best friends, Rumi and Hudson, she also takes videos of exciting events at the zoo to spread the message about the importance of wildlife conservation.

When the videos are nominated for the National Zoo Association Awards, Neeka wants to make one more video that will help her win the award. But when Rebel, the cheeky red panda, won’t co-operate, her zoo key goes missing and she’s grounded for a month, creating a new video in time for the awards seems impossible…
