5.0 out of 5 stars Badger in the Basement, March 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Badger in the Basement (Animal Ark Series #6) (Paperback)

Badger in the Basement is a great book. I've read all 9 of the Animal Ark books, and all of the Animal Ark Pets books, but Badger in the Basement was my favorite. In this book, Mandy and James find a badger nest, but when they go back to the nest to check on the badgers, the nest has been deliberately destroyed. All that is left is an orphaned badger cub. James and Mandy have to find out who did it. I think that people should read this book, because it's a great book, and a great series.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Badger in the Basement (Animal Ark Series #6) (Paperback)

Catherine M. The book centers around Animal Ark hospital. The main characters are an elementary school girl and boy. They find a baby badger without a mother and raise him in the basement of the Animal Ark hospital. Together they solve the mystery of who is killing the badgers in their wild habitat.

I recommend this book to someone who likes mysteries and cares about wild animals. It is a good book for both boys and girls.
