Neeka and the Missing Key

Eleven-year-old Neeka lives with her parents and four-year-old brother Gus at Wilder Zoo. Neeka wants to be a vet when she grows up, so she helps out at the zoo each morning before school. Her best friends Hudson and Rumi also love to spend time with her at the zoo, helping with the animals. Neeka enjoys filming videos and is anxious about the Zoo Association Award nomination. This year’s prize is new recording equipment, which she desperately wants to win, so she and her friends make viral videos for the zoo. They run into a hiccup when Neeka’s key goes missing. Can they find it? And can Neeka win the video competition? A beautifully written chapter book, teaching children the importance of admitting to mistakes and not trying to fix them alone.
