When Mattie wishes on a shooting star for a puppy, she knows her wish is hopeless. Her dad just doesn't believe Mattie is responsible enough to look after a puppy.

She finds the next best thing when she and her friend Zoë start helping the new vet and animal rescuer, Dr Polly. Mattie still may not have a pet of her own, but she has amazing adventures rescuing a runaway ferret, trying to stop a greedy goat from eating everything in the garden, and looking after an adorable puppy with a hurt paw.

But as the animal rescue gets more and more crowded, Mattie, Zoë, and the vet's son, Casper, realise that they need to do something more. Can they help the animals find their forever homes?

The Appletree Animal Agency: Collie Chaos by Katya Balen is a delightful tale of friendship, responsibility, and the joy of helping animals. A perfect read for young readers who love pets and adventure.
