Synopsis

New York City is in trouble! Something strange is happening in Central Park, the green sanctuary in the heart of Manhattan. Dogs splash in fountains, ride skateboards, and act naughty all throughout the park. Their owners, their dog walkers, and even the park patrol can’t stop the wild behavior. Is something in the park making the pups crazy? Lilly Cook and her twin siblings, Fynn and Celia, remember the case that turned their parents into world famous veterinarians—with a little help from their kids, of course! Discover how the Cook kids learn to think like animals and work with new friends to protect our environment, one destination at a time. Will they find the solution before all dogs are banned from Central Park forever?

About this title

About the Author

Dori Marx grew up in Austria and traveled the world several times before choosing New England as her home. There, she lives with her husband and three children, along with an ever-growing number of rescue dogs, goats, pet chickens, and ducks. Although she isn't a veterinarian, she has a soft spot for all living beings and has even learned to coexist with the spiders in her barn. Dori's books are illustrated by artists living in the countries that the Wonder World Kids visit. These local illustrators lend their unique style to the artwork for each book. Wonder World Kids is her first book series for emerging young readers. So far she has taken her young readers to the capital of Austria, the mountains of Peru, Central Park in New York City, and the largest National Park in Kenya.
