It's the summer of 1968 in Sonoma County, California, and eleven-year-old Weston Gregg and his nine-year-old sister, Wendy, are looking for fun things to do during their summer break from school. When they discover some abandoned rabbits, they hatch an idea to make a positive difference for animals and people in their small town of Tyler Stop.
They decide to form 'Rescue Each Species-Quickly', or RES-Q Tyler Stop.
There are challenges to face as they move forward into their new venture, including standing up to someone who is targeting Weston's friends for being different and a painfully bad decision.
Will Weston have to handle these issues on his own or will he learn to accept the advice and wisdom shared by some important people in his life? Join Weston and his family and friends as they share some adventures and learn and grow together in RES-Q Tyler Stop.
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
"Adventure has no end in this tale, where a heart for animals inspires and surprises await around every bend. . . . The characters and the situations they face come across realistic, and the scenes develop naturally. Not only does the author keep a nice paced plot rolling along but adds interesting and practical information about animals and ways to handle certain situations along the way. It makes for a fun mix of fiction and fact.
This appears to be the first book in the series, and I’m eager to see where the RES-Q Tyler Stop adventures will head to next." ~ Tonja Drecker, Author of Music Boxes
I was intrigued by the synopsis of the book when I first read it. We are an animal loving home and if it was up to my boys, they would rescue every one they see. The setting of the book is 1968.
The main characters of the book, 2 siblings named Weston and Wendy, happen into "Pet Rescuing" sort of by accident. They find a few bunnies left at the County Fair. They were able to hunt down the owners after a few days. The bunnies gone the siblings realize how wonderful it was taking care of the animals and how many more are in need of rescue.
Weston and Wendy begin their RES-Q and along the way there a few blunders, but they realize how wonderful of an adventure it is also! The book is about kids and responsibility, love of animals, lessons learned. The book also has a bit of real history intertwined in the book with the information of Pomo Indians. The book is wonderfully written and one that kept my attention from beginning to end. It is geared toward the Middle School kids ages 8-12 and very appropriate for them.
RES-Q Tyler Stop is the first book by June McCrary Jacobs and is book 1 in this series! WONDERFUL book from a First time Author!
