5.0 out of 5 stars Another good Wild At Heart book!!, June 9, 2002

By	kelly (Ohio) - See all my reviews

I really liked this book. It is #10 in the series. I have all the Wild At Heart books and this one is one of my favorites. I don't know why it only has 3 stars because Laurie Halse Anderson has a way of writing that keeps you reading until the very last page. And this book is no exeption.
But... In this book thousands of parrots are being brought to North America to be sold on the Black Market. When one of the smugglers van wrecks, the birds fly loose in Zoe's town. Most of the birds die but Zoe and Dr. Mac save some. Then Zoe's mom shows up to take her "home". A must read for Wild At Heart Fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Future Vet's Review, December 5, 2003

A Kid's Review

Time to Fly
By Laurie Halse Anderson

This book is about a girl named Zoe. She lives in Ambler, Pennsylvania with her grandma who is a veterinarian. Her mom is an actor that lives in New York. She and her friends Brenna, David, Maggie, and Sunita are vet volunteers at Wild at Heart. They do everything they can to save animals.
Zoe is now trying to help a parrot that has gone loose. She names him E.T. At the same time she is battling with her mom about moving to New York. She doesn't know what to do. Should she stay in Ambler? What will happen to E.T.?
I liked this book because I love animals and want to be a veterinarian. It was also a very heart warming story about saving an animal's life. I hope you will like it too!

3.0 out of 5 stars Time to Fly- a review, May 13, 2002

By	Shannon Driscoll - See all my reviews

Time To Fly is number 10 in the series Wild at Heart. Its main character is a girl named Zoe. In the book there are Parrots being smuggled from South America to the Untied States for money. A truck full of birds tips over and releces hundreds into Zoe's little hometown(unfortunatly a large portion of the birds die). But thankfully Zoe is on the case!! Then Zoe's mom shows up with some great news or is it not really so great after all?
