About this book
Zoe Reindeer considers herself just Zoe never measuring up to her too-perfect older sister or her smarty-pants little brother. Truthfully, though, she d rather just blend in with the plants at the family business, Doc Reindeer s Exotic Plant Wonderland. She does have one friend, Q, and he s the best one ever but he s moving away, leaving Zoe to fend for herself, and she doesn t know what she ll do without him. That is until a tall astronomer from Madagascar comes to the nursery looking for a Baobab tree. His visit starts a ball rolling that makes Zoe long for real adventures, not just imaginary ones and shows her that perhaps her first real adventure is finally beginning.
