From the Publisher

06/01/2016
Gr 2–5— Sage and her diverse group of friends from the Red Team are back to compete in The Wild Life All Stars Showdown, a race through remote areas of the world to seek out and photograph animals. This leg of the race takes them to Australia with the competition stiffer than ever. This is a fun adventure story that will particularly appeal to young animal enthusiasts. Sections at the end of each chapter give additional information about related subjects and black-and-white illustrations include full-page race scenes and illustrations of animals found throughout the book. While readers who have followed the team on their previous adventures will most appreciate this installment, kids obsessed with animal facts will still find much to love here.
