School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 Gr 3–5—The Wild Thornberrys meet Bindi and Robert Irwin in an action-packed and educational adventure series. In The Vaquita, Asia and Ring Wilde are on an observation tour in Mexico with their famous veterinarian father, Dr. Jack Wilde, to see an endangered and highly elusive porpoise. The third book follows them as they return to their family's conservation center in Texas. In both books, the siblings find themselves entangled in nefarious plans to harm the animals they are trying to protect and must figure out how to keep everyone safe. Asia and Ring are charismatic characters and are mostly left to their own devices. As a result, the plot is engaging and constantly flowing. Smith also includes lots of tidbits about animal conservation, perfect for kids who enjoy wildlife stories. These books pack a punch. VERDICT This series would be excellent for readers who enjoy wildlife and adventure. Highly recommended for all collections. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
