The world goes wild, fascinated by this real-life saga, pinning Christa and her family under the spotlight.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I always look forward to Waxman‘s books, and this was decent, though not my fave of hers. Am I wrong for saying this has Crocodile Hunter vibes with a spin? A famous animal enthusiast father thought dead turns up alive, and chaos pretty much ensues. I listened to this in one day while painting my kids‘ game room, so definitely entertaining, even if it‘s not her strongest effort, IMO.

I love Abbi Waxman. Her humour really shone in this one but there were some great moments of vulnerability, too.

Library book 1/3 for #AwesomeApril

I loved this. It's like most of the author's books I have read in that you get sucked into the characters and it feels like a nice warm hug. Highly recommend.
