About this ebook
Cricket McKay is back and answering a new SOS: "Save Our Salamanders!"
Cricket McKay has lived in Waterton all her life, so she is surprised to discover an animal she hasn’t seen before: the long-toed salamander. She finds a band of them migrating from the pond to their hibernation grounds at Crandell Mountain. Crossing the road that lies between the pond and the mountain is dangerous enough, but now a newly-constructed curb makes their journey even more challenging. Can Cricket and her friends come up with a solution to help the salamanders?
Salamander Rescue is the second book featuring Cricket and friends.

Epilogue
Chapter One
Warden McKay?
The radio on the truck’s dashboard crackled. There’s a bear jam on Crandell Mountain Road. Can you help? Over.
Ten-four. How far down the road is the bear?
It’s in the berry patch, two miles from the campground.
I’ll take care of it. Warden McKay out.
He turned to his daughter, Cricket, sitting in the passenger seat. I bet old Samson is posing for the tourists again. Are you ready for a little adventure, Cricket?
A bear jam could be a big problem. Tourists loved spotting all the wildlife in the national park. Deer and goats wandered through the village every day. Moose crashed through the campground. And a single bear beside the road could stop traffic for miles.
Warden McKay slowed down when they turned onto Crandell Mountain Road. It was a skinny, rough road that twisted and turned through the hills. There were places for drivers to pull over to take pictures of the scenery. But in a bear jam, people parked anywhere—in the ditches, on the grass and even in the middle of the road!
Sure enough, the road ahead was jammed with vehicles. Tourists leaned out of car windows and stood to look through sunroofs. Everyone had a camera in hand. Everyone was looking up the hill.
Warden McKay turned on the truck’s big orange strobe lights and pulled far off the road to park. He hopped out before Cricket could undo her seat belt. He shook his head. Promise me you’ll stay in the truck,
he said.
I can help, Dad. C’mon, I’ll be in fourth grade in a few weeks.

Cricket sighed. As she sat in the truck, a little black bear cub tumbled out
