'Hi! I'm Juliet. I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet!

'A terrible bushfire has struck and Mum's vet clinic is in chaos. Every day more and more injured baby animals arrive. Chelsea and I have never been busier! There's an adorable baby koala to feed by hand, a fat little wombat to bandage, and a funny blue-tongued lizard that Max is determined to make his pet.

'But who knew that babies needed so much feeding! I may never sleep again!' (Publisher's blurb)

'Hi! I'm Juliet. I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet! It's the holidays and we're going camping by the beach. I'm bringing my vet-kit in case of any animal emergencies. Vets needs to be prepared for anything! I can't wait to toast marshmallows by the campfire, swim in the sea and explore the rock-pools - there are so many amazing animals at the beach. Chelsea and I really want to see a dolphin or a whale. ' (Publication summary)

'Hi! I'm Juliet. I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet! I've won a competition to be a zookeeper for a day! My best friend Chelsea is coming too. I can't wait to learn all about the zoo animals. There will be meerkats, tigers and penguins to feed. And maybe some zoo vets who need some help (I must remember my vet-kit!). Most exciting of all, there's a baby elephant due to be born!

'There was a huge storm last night and now there are lots of lost dogs. One turned up outside my window (he must have known I'm nearly a vet). Luckily, Chelsea, Mum and I are helping out at the Lost Dogs' Home.

'I hope we can find all of their owners, because Dad definitely won't let us have another dog! ' (Publication summary)

Chelsea and I go to such a cool school – we get to have playground pets! Guineas pigs, lizards, fish and insects are all part of our classroom. This week, we have a replacement teacher though, and Miss Primly doesn't know much about animals. But we do (it's so handy being nearly a vet).

We're going to be flat-out keeping track of them all and doing our schoolwork, but I'm sure nothing will go too wrong...' (Publisher's blurb)

'It's hot and dry in the outback where my grandparents live. I'm so excited that Chelsea is coming with us to visit them. I wonder what outback animals we'll see?

'My cousin Jarrod will be there, but I get the feeling he doesn't like me very much and – even worse – he doesn't seem to like animals! Maybe this is my chance to change his mind…' (Publication summary)

'There's a cat show in town and some of the cats are going to board at Mum's vet clinic. Chelsea and I can't wait to see all the different types of cats.

'All the owners have special techniques for preparing their pets for the show – and some are very fussy. When there's a cat-astrophe, it's lucky that my best friend is almost a world-famous animal trainer and groomer!' (Publication summary)

'It's been raining for days and the farms and paddocks near our house are flooded. Luckily, Chelsea and I are all ready to help when Mum is called out to deal with some stranded alpacas – a vet has to be ready to go at a moment's notice! But there are many small animals that need rescuing. Can we convince Dad to take us out in the canoe before the water rises further?' (Publication summary)

'We're off on a school camp to the rainforest. Chelsea, Maisy and I are excited about all the different animals we might spot on our nature walks and torchlight treks. Chelsea is NOT excited about the creepy crawlies we might find, but I know that vets have to be brave.

'I've brought my vet kit along just in case we find any rainforest animals in need of help...' (Publication summary)
