Twelve-year-old Robin will never get over her mother's death. Nor will
she forgive her father for moving the family to a small town to live
with a weird grandmother. At her new school Robin is laughingly called
"Green Girl" and is taunted relentlessly because of an award she
received. She decides not to care about anyone or anything. But when her
pregnant dog plunges into the frozen lake, she saves the dog and hence
the puppies.
Robin finds she can't stop herself from caring. She begins rescuing wild
animals and rehabilitates them in the barn. Robin's father forbids her
to take in more, but she rescues some skunks, anyway, and hides them.
Other animals arrive, and soon she's running an illegal animal shelter.
When she's found out, Robin mounts a campaign to save her shelter. Will
she have the courage to stand against the whole town?
