An exciting tale about a young human hero, Braden, who discovers Squeak, an orphaned baby otter, in the park.

Although Braden would like to keep Squeak as a pet, he learns about otters and the importance of rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife that live among humans.

Squeak is a real otter that now resides at the Calvert Marine Museum, in Solomons Island, Maryland. It is cared for by doting aquarist Linda Hanna, who enjoys the antics and games of the furry mammals. Early reader–ages 5-8.
