Tom, Carrie, Em and Michael are still living on their own at World's End. In between wondering where the next meal will be coming from, and trying to avoid interfering grown-ups, they are never short of fun and excitement. Carrie cannot stand to see an animal suffer, and when she sees a beautiful horse in trouble, her and her friend Lester hatch a scheme to free it. What with sick monkeys, working after-school jobs and sheltering a runaway, life seems complicated enough. But when Carrie plunges into another rescue operation, more perilous than any she has attempted before � putting her, and faithful dog Charlie, into terrible danger � things quickly spiral out of control. Desperately the children struggle to save Charlie from a dreadful fate; but it is a race against time.
