What better time than the Christmas season for aspiring vet Jasmine to
find a new home for her elderly neighbor's gentle donkey?
When Jasmine and her best friend, Tom, visit their neighbor Mr. Hobson
to help him with some chores, they discover that he is selling his farm
and moving to a nearby assisted living facility. Because Mr. Hobson
won't have a home for his beloved donkey, Mistletoe, anymore, he is
planning to send him to a faraway sanctuary. Jasmine doesn't want to see
them separated, so she hatches a plan to keep Mistletoe at Oak Tree
Farm, where Mr. Hobson could visit him whenever he liked. But caring for
a donkey is lots of work (as Jasmine's parents often remind her),
especially with her mischievous younger brother around. When the school
nativity play encounters a mishap, though, Jasmine realizes she may have
the perfect understudy right in her backyard. From author Helen Peters
and illustrator Ellie Snowdon, this latest book in the Jasmine Green
Rescues series offers a heartwarming tale of multigenerational
friendship and holiday spirit.
