The Mystery of the Ball Python

by Jessica Lee Anderson, Alejandra Barajas (Illustrator)

Overview

When Naomi gets a tip about a strange snake sighting in the neighborhood, she knows it’s a job for her snake-saving club. Naomi, Nolan, and Emma go to investigate and get a huge surprise. The snake isn’t a native Texas species—it’s a ball python! Did someone dump an unwanted pet, or did this snake somehow get lost? Naomi’s parents agree she can keep the snake if no one claims it. But can Naomi bring herself to solve the mystery if it costs her the pet snake she’s always wanted?
