    Saving Crazy
    Robin and her activist sidekick Zo-Zo have a crush on the same boy. But when he chooses Robin, Zo-Zo is angry and cuts off their friendship. Robin’s nature-loving grandmother decides to help out by taking them on a high-seas adventure to save whales. Soon, Robin has to choose between her love for a boy and her love for animals.

    The Truth About Brave
    Whether saving animals from the cruelty of a factory farm or dealing with her sister’s suspected eating disorder, Robin struggles to choose whether taking action would be heroic … or going too far. Worried that she’s a wuss compared to her friend Zo-Zo, Robin takes the risk of following her own path, and finds her inner truth and courage.

    Howl
    Can a twelve-year-old make a difference for animals? After moving to a rural town, Robin is depressed. But when her pregnant dog plunges into the frozen lake, she saves the dog and hence the puppies. She begins rescuing wild animals, and soon she’s running an illegal animal shelter. When she’s found out, the town tries to shut her down, and she mounts a campaign to save her shelter.

      Is Robin brave enough to do what’s right when everyone thinks she’s wrong? No one is more passionate about rescuing hurt animals than Robin, except maybe her best friend Zo-Zo, who helps Robin run the family’s animal shelter, The Wild Place. When the two of them discover that a neighbour’s chicken farm is really a factory farm, they both want to stop it. Zo-Zo argues that radical action is required, but Robin is worried about getting into trouble with her dad, or even worse, the local sheriff.  Is it ever okay to break the law to stand up for what you believe in? And if it is, how will she find the courage to do what’s right, even when others think she’s wrong?
