Lily to the Rescue: The Misfit Donkey is a new addition to the irresistible chapter book series from W. Bruce Cameron, the New York Times bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, featuring Lily, a rescue dog who rescues other animals!
Lily lives with her girl, Maggie Rose. Once a stray, Lily was rescued by the kind people at the animal shelter run by Maggie Rose’s mom. Now she has a very important purpose: to rescue other animals in trouble.
A baby misfit donkey tries to make friends with a herd of older donkeys from a neighboring farm, only to be rejected again and again. No one can figure out why—until Lily comes to visit. It's Lily to the rescue!
