Amara loves bats, but when her family moves, she's disappointed to find that the nearby park is bat-less. Inspired by other kids who made a difference, she bravely engages the help of her new classmates to raise money and awareness, and works with the park ranger and wildlife rescue team to put up bat houses. It takes effort, time, and patience, but eventually, the bats return!

"She felt as if the weight of the whole world was crashing down on her. What could she do to help?"
