In this book, Sunita gets an internship at a lab. She finds out later that the animals are being infected with diseases, killed, and dissected to learn about the diseases to create new medicines for animals. Sunita is torn about whether or not this is wrong and at the end decides it's OK. While her friend, Brenna, gives the other side(against the experiments), saying that it is cruel and that there must be another way, that does not give any real facts for the other side. In all the other Wild at Heart books that involved animal rights issues, the kids did research to find out about the issues, but they didn't in this one. If they had, they would probably have found out some facts that very few people are aware of-like that experiments on animals are highly innacurate, have caused many drugs later found to be dangerous to be put on the market, and that 90% of medical advancements were discovered through experiments that did not involve animals. While I loved most the Wild at Heart books, I did not like the way this book presented the issue of animal experimentation;it was very one-sided.

It begins sad because Sunita, one of the Wild At Heart volunteers, has to get surgery for her cat Mittens in an emergency. It makes her upset, so she decides to leave Wild At Heart and instead recieves an internship to a lab. She finds out the lab does animal testing there. Torn between right and wrong, she finally decides it's okay, but Brenna, another volunteer, sticks up for the animal. I won't tell you the end, but unlike the previous review, I really DO recommend the book.
NOTE: READ the PREVIOUS BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trapped was a awsome book it has adventure and great for people who love animals(like me)! It is about Sunita having to go into a hurricane to face her biggest fear and to rescue a speciel cat!

A complete joy to the heart as Brenna takes a wonderful trip to "Gold Coast Rescue Center". However the center is a little short on cash... and soon they'll be 'outa luck! Read this heart warming story to find out what Brenna Lake does and the magical ending to be told.
