The fifth in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters. With beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon.

Jasmine’s dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself…

It’s lambing time on the farm and Jasmine has her hands full. She has two orphaned baby birds to care for, as well as a tiny motherless lamb who needs her attention. She’s determined to look after little Lucky and keep him safe. But there are bigger dangers facing the flock, ones that come in the dead of night…

Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up.

Check out Jasmine’s other adventures:

A Piglet Called Truffle

A Duckling Called Button

A Kitten Called Holly

and many more!

""Perfect for the young animal enthusiast"" – The Guardian

""Quality storytelling with a hint of Dick King-Smith’s Sophie books"" – The Bookseller

The sheep rustlers came and stole a flock of all their sheep including lucky! Jasmine called the police and she had an idea - she knew lucky would run to her so when they saw a flock Jasmine called and lucky bounded to her! So she knew it was their flock of sheep.

It's a really good book. I really like these books because there are animals in danger and Jasmine comes and helps them. In every book there is a special fact about animals. I also get to learn medical things.

I absolutely loved this book. It is so cute to see those children helping animals. It has something to do with this summer reading challenge topic. My favourite characters are Jasmine and her best friend tom because they are always caring for other animals. I 100% recommend this book.
