About book Fight For Life (2000)

This book is enlightening. It's so happy and sada. In this book, it's about this character named Maggie. Maggie is trying to save ten puppies who have been abused at a puppy mill and eight survived. Maggie wants to track the place but Gran has other ideas. Gran banned her from the clinic until she can bring her grades up. Then Gran brought in some new volunteers to do MAggie's jobs. Maggie doesn't even think she belongs there anymore. But she thinks the puppies are the most important thing. Maggie knows there are more trapped puppies in the puppy mill. Maggie is planning to rescue them. In this book, I like the characters. The main character is Maggie. Maggie is very unique because she is 12 or up to 15 and she knows how to take care of animals. Maggie is very kind, sweet, and nice. Maggie is very kind because she helps the animals that are sick or hurt. MAggie is sweet because she makes people cheer up when they are getting their pet euthanized. Maggie is nice because she helps Gran with her work. Maggie is the relevant character out of all the other characters. I say that because in the book, she solved the problem with the puppies. When you read the book, you may think she is relevant like I said.In this book, I also like the theme. The main idea is Maggie saving the puppies from the puppy mill. I like that part because Maggie save all the puppies in the puppy mill. The theme is very powerful because it shows everything that had happened. Also, the theme has an important message. It is that if you have a pet, don't abuse it. That's all I have about the theme. Everything else is for you to find out when you read. I would recommend this book. Hope you like it and thanks for reading my review :)

Maggie is a dyslexic middle school girl who lives with her grandmother, a vet who runs a busy clinic. Maggie is an orphan who craves her grandmother's attention and a bit anti-social. During the course of the story, she grows up quite a bit, learning to ask for help with her learning disability and the value of working with friends as a team. The plot revolves around the discovery of an illegal puppy mill and the tragic abuse of animals for profit. I did not know much about puppy mills before reading this book. It really opened my eyes. I even did some research about them because I was interested. I had no idea that chain pet stores sometimes sell dogs from puppy mills. It is disgraceful.

Very sweet story and some great themes about dedication and and doing the right thing even when it's hard. It had animals, a really cool grandma who also cares about her granddaughters, and lots of cute puppies. My kids loved the veterinary office and my justice minded daughter (age 6) was incensed about the puppy mill and the man that ran it. We had to look into laws in our own state and make sure they existed! Any author that can elicit that kind of response from children is worth keeping up with!

Maggie is an orphan who has grown up with her grandmother, Gran. Gran is a veterinarian and Maggie has grown up being surrounding by animals. Maggie takes a genuine care and nurture for the animals that come into Gran’s clinic; so much that it distracts Maggie from her studies because she is constantly wanting to be at the clinic rather than doing her homework. After Gran grounds her from the clinic and orders her to get her studies up, trouble begins at the clinic where a number of dogs are brought in being sick. In desperate times, Gran allows Maggie to help out at the clinic for the purpose of saving multiple animals. Then they discover together the source of why these dogs are all malnourished and have worms. It eventually leads to getting the police involved and helps Maggie write a story for her school assignment. This book is great for animal lovers and also displays the notion of taking action for the common good is the most honorable thing a person can do. This is an American Girl book series I believe and therefore it is no wonder why this book teaches valuable lessons and tugs at the heart.
