Mink likes doing things fast and wild, and, like the creatures she’s named herself for, is also fiercely loyal and not afraid to bite.

When a lost little zebra comes looking for help, of course Mink volunteers and with the help of grouchy dog Rainbow and her new-found ability to understand what animals are saying, tracks down the missing zebra parents. They’ve been taken captive by the wicked Mr Spit, neatly completing his alphabetically organised wild animal collection.

Nasty as Spit is, he’s no match for Mink, especially when she’s backed up by furious animals with newly found fire inside them. (Mink’s dad thinks being asked for help gives us the chance to change the world, lighting up a fire inside us). With her plaits, her resourcefulness and courage, there’s definitely something of Pippi Longstocking about Mink, and the story moves as fast as she could wish for, driven by a sense of justice and of all the possibilities open to children. Sara Ogilvie’s illustrations are gorgeous, full of energy one minute, tenderness the next.
