When you live in a zoo - things can get wild!   


Eleven-year-old Neeka Wilder has always loved animals. She wants to be a vet   one day, like her mum, who is the head vet at Wilder Zoo - where Neeka and her family live! Neeka is a great help to the zoo staff in caring for the animals. 

And she also takes videos of exciting events at the zoo. When the videos are nominated for a big award, Neeka wants to make one more video to help win it. 

But when Rebel, the cheeky red panda, won't co-operate, her zoo key goes missing and she's grounded for a month, it's a race against the clock to create the new video in time for the awards. 


Praise for Neeka and the Missing Key: 
'full of surprises' - Gabrielle Tozer
'an adorable romp' - Victoria Carless 
'kind of story kids love to read' - Jen Storer 
'ultimate zoo adventure' - Samera Kamaleddine 
'a magical tale' - Yvette Poshoglian.
