Mimi and Maty to the Rescue!: Book 2: Sadie the Sheep Disappears Without a Peep!

Description

Mimi and her three-legged dog Maty are determined to help rescue any animal that needs help. Armed with their trusty animal rescue notebook, Mimi and Maty set out to find their beloved sheep Sadie, who has gone missing at Aunt Bee's farm. Mimi keeps track of all of the clues she and Maty find during their search for Sadie. Along with their friends Henry and Finn (Maty's puppy crush), this dynamic team of animal rescuers race against time to find Sadie before she has her baby! But will they find Sadie in time? Or will Mimi's nemesis, Icky Vicky, get in the way? Inspired by real-life Mimi Ausland (founder of freekibble.com) and her special three-legged dog Maty, this is the exciting and much-anticipated second book in the Mimi and Maty series (the recipient of the 2013 Bookies Bravo Award given to books with positive impact by Milk + Bookies). Mimi's dedication to helping animals-and her meticulous detective skills-are sure to inspire young animal lovers and budding private eyes of all ages!
