At Animal Ark, Mandy Hope helps her parents treat animals of all shapes ans sizes. Even outside the clinic, Mandy can't resist helping any animal in need. While helping at the Spiller farm, Mandy and James find a tiny black lamb that's been abandoned by its mother. But just when they start to take care of it, the lamb disappears.

Not one of my all-time favorites, but a very good book nonetheless. All Animal Ark books, at least the ones I've read so far, have a happy ending, or a semi-happy ending. However, there are usually times during the book where a happy ending just doesn't seem possible, and I end up gripping the book tightly and muttering to myself while reading fast and hoping for the best. This book was right on the money in that respect. ( )
