Scarier still, when Stella tells her aunt about a sick fawn she's spotted in the woods, Anya won't help. Has Stella's beloved aunt stopped caring about wild creatures?

Pets in Peril? It's Stella to the rescue! On each of the first three days of school, Stella is late because of a wounded or sick animal, and her teacher is not at all pleased. But Stella must find the time to help a wounded turtle, a gravely ill cat, and a golden retriever that's been hit by a truck. What's more, she's beginning to realize that somebody needs to do something about the bend in the road where the dog was injured: It's unsafe for animals, and maybe for people, too. Stella, her friends, and her veterinarian aunt, Anya, save the animals in Gateway, Montana, in one exciting new adventure after another.

Aunt Anya, a vet, can remove the quills, but first she must ask Papa Pete for his help in tracking the elusive cat. Join Stella and her friends and family in one exciting episode after another, as they rescue a fawn from a steel trap, save an iquana, and help deliver a colt. And in a stunning conclusion, Stella witnesses a moment she has long dreamed of, which will change her world forever.
