Macmillan Publishing Group and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be on sale on July 7th, so you can pick up a copy in a couple of days.
I've always been curious myself, so I can relate to Callie Vee in that area. However, she likes to dissect things to see how they function and I draw the line at that. We had to do a frog in my biology class and I threw up. If she's going to be a vet, then she'll have to do such things. That's why I found another calling in life.
When her little brother adopts a half dog, half coyote pup she knows it's going to cause trouble. But he's too tenderhearted to let any animal hurt. So they hide him in a cave and the boy feeds him each day to keep him out of the chickens. You know it's all going to come to a head before the story is over.
I liked Callie Vee's persistence in her belief she could do anything she wanted to do. I also liked her relationship with her grandfather, who often took her side when no one else would. She even gets to work as a the veterinarian's assistant. But her future isn't clear yet.
Fentress, Texas, will never be the same after Callie Vee grows up there. And that's a good thing.
