Meet Ada & Friends: Pet Project Kids’ Reading and Activities with Heidi Tattrie Rushton. Heidi will be here to do a reading from her new release, Pet Project, the long-anticipated sequel to Pet Tales, published by Nevermore Press, and will do some activities with the kids. In her small town of Kentville, Nova Scotia, eleven-year-old Ada Boudreau has signed up for a youth changemaker contest. Her idea? Create a food bank for pets so families never have to choose between feeding themselves or their beloved animals. She thinks this could be her chance to make a difference, and maybe get a shot at the spotlight, too!
But when Zephyr, the new kid in town and a fellow contestant, starts outshining Ada at every turn, her big-hearted idea starts to feel small. Between worries about her own empty cupboards, some big changes at home, and a string of suspicious contest mishaps, Ada’s life starts to feel like it’s spiralling out of control, and she begins to wonder what matters more—winning or helping others?
Themes of food insecurity, family dynamics, helping others, social justice, and animal welfare.
