    Amy must come up with a plan to save a park—and all the animals living there—in the seventeenth book of the Critter Club series.

    When Amy learns that part of a nearby park may be destroyed and replaced by a shopping center, she’s devastated. Amy has spent her whole life visiting and playing in that park, and she’s always loved going on nature walks there. She can’t stand the idea that the park—and all the animals in it—would disappear! Can Amy come up with a plan to save the park?

      Amy on Park Patrol - Callie Barkley

      Amy on Park Patrol

      Amy Purvis spotted an empty plastic water bottle under a tree.

      Found another one! she called out. She picked it up and put it in her recycling bag.

      Amy was volunteering with Park Patrol, a group that cleaned up the Santa Vista Town Park. They met there one Saturday a month. Then they split up into teams to cover different areas.

      Another volunteer on Amy’s team, Kayla, had a bag for trash.

      Jonah had a bag for food waste, like banana peels and apple cores. They would go in the park compost heap.

      Amy was in charge of the recycling bag. So far she had found ten empty bottles and cans. The group leader, Mr. Schultz, would turn them in for the bottle deposit. The money would buy more bags and other cleanup supplies.

      When the team was done with their rounds, they all gathered around Mr. Schultz.

      Great work, everyone! said Mr. Schultz.

      Amy smiled proudly. She knew lots of wild animals lived in the park, like birds, squirrels, groundhogs, and foxes, so it was important to keep it clean. That morning, her team had even seen a duck nest by the pond. Those baby ducks could have gotten sick from eating people’s trash!

      Amy checked her watch. It was almost time for her to meet Ellie, Liz, and Marion over at The Critter Club. That was the animal rescue shelter they ran together in their friend Ms. Sullivan’s barn.

      Sorry! I have to leave a little early, Amy told Mr. Schultz. I’ll see you next month.

      "Okay.
