Race to the Finish
When Ben befriends an older boy called Craig, whose father races greyhounds, he is invited to come and see one of their dogs compete. Cassie is much less enthusiastic about greyhound racing, and Ben can't understand why.
But when a greyhound is brought to the RSPCA shelter having been abandoned, Ben realises that in the world of racing dogs, the greyhounds are never the real winners.

The purrfect read for young animal lovers, this brand new adventure series is based around a young girl, Cassie, and her friend, Ben, who are on a mission to help vulnerable animals of any description.
These short chapter books will be popular with children who are already fond of their pets, but are also useful for teaching younger children to show animals respect and compassion. Proceeds go towards supporting the RSPCA in their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home neglected or abused domestic animals in Australia.
A number of renowned Australian children's authors contribute to this series, including Chris Kunz, Helen Kelly, Jess Black and David Harding.
