Book description
Animal Haven is a temporary home for all sorts of Australian wildlife,
although there are a few permanent residents as well, like Oscar the
owl, Fur Bag the possum, Cinnamon the koala and Alice the labrador. Meg
and Mike live there, too, and they work so hard to help their parents
rescue and look after the animals that the locals at Jeff's Creek have
nicknamed them the Aussie Angels. Trying to get some attention from the
Aussie Angels, Mike and Meg, can be a tough job, even when you're the
top dog at Animal Haven. Alice the labrador is surrounded by orphaned
wallabies and possums, and then there's that camel and emu and there are
all the other residents and visitors! But Alice is determined to carve
out her own career. She can smell trouble in the air, and her motto is
always "Have nose, will travel". But Alice's travels lead her
into some frightening adventures. DOG ON THE JOB is the eleventh
instalment in a series loved by children all over Australia. Margaret
Clark is one of Australia's best loved and most highly respected
writers, whose distinctive blend of comedy, sharp observation and
commitment has won her readers around the world.
