When you live in a zoo - things can get wild!

Eleven-year-old Neeka Wilder has always loved animals. She wants to be a vet one day, like her mum, who is the head vet at Wilder Zoo - where Neeka and her family live!

Neeka is a great help to the zoo staff in caring for the animals. She also takes videos of exciting events at the zoo. When the videos are nominated for a big award, Neeka wants to make one more video to help win it.

But when Rebel, the cheeky red panda, won't cooperate, her zoo key goes missing, and she's grounded for a month, it's a race against the clock to create the new video in time for the awards.
