Paperback | English

By (author): Sheila Agnew

New York City. Evie Brooks had seen it on the TV, but suddenly finds herself leaving her home in Dublin and moving to Manhattan to her American uncle Scott, after the death of her mother.

Never owned a pet more substantial than a goldfish, Evie is intrigued by Scott''''s NYC veterinary practice, and before long, Evie is working as an assistant in the clinic. Between the pets, their owners, Scott and his lawyer girlfriend, the Summer quickly becomes a whirlwind of change and activity!

And then Evie has to make a huge choice: will she stay in New York, or return to live in Ireland with her godmother, Janet?

About Sheila Agnew

Sheila Agnew was born in New York and grew up in Dublin with her sister and two brothers. They liked to pretend to be the children in The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. Although Sheila couldn''''t quite make it to Narnia she set out to experience what she could of this world. After graduating from UCD. she practiced as a lawyer in London Sydney and New York and got to work in such far-flung places as Accra Cairo and Bratislava. Sheila has wanted to be a writer since she was seven and fell in love with Danny the Champion of the World. In 2002 she took time-out from her legal career to write and to travel around Asia. In 2011 she moved to Argentina to learn Spanish and work on a horse farm. The following year she relocated to Dingle in County Kerry where she wrote Evie Brooks. Sheila based the character of ''''Ben'''' on her own black-and-white spaniel of dubious lineage. Sheila now lives and writes in New York City.
