Hide and Seek — Sue Stauffacher

It's autumn in Grand River, and as Keisha and her pals prepare for Halloween, a phone call comes in to Carters' Urban Rescue: a deer has been spotted in the neighborhood . . . with a pumpkin on his head! The deer was enjoying the birdseed treat inside when, somehow, it got stuck. The Animal Rescue Team has a problem to solve: how do you get a pumpkin off a deer's head when you can't catch him? (And how can Keisha concentrate when the newest animal at Carters' Urban Rescue is howling his way into her heart?)

Whatever the dilemma, if it's got fur or feathers, the Carters are the ones to call! Filled with adventure, lots of laughs, and plenty of critters, Sue Stauffacher's Animal Rescue Team books are perfect for independent readers.
