Ten-year-old Bailey Best talks her way into working at The Found Friend, her uncle's animal rescue center. What's not to love? Care for amazing animals. Earn money to help her parents pay for vacation. And best of all, get back at her traitorous brother who wants to sink her vision of summer glory - Disneyland and the Indiana Jones Adventure ride. She celebrates a little early however because helping out at the rescue isn't quite what she expected. That, and the giant snake called Goliath hungers for flesh. William Wolfe's love of animals shines through in this hysterical (and sometimes terrifying ) tale about a girl facing unintended consequences, and learning about what really matters in life at the same time.
