But after doing so, they realise that an even greater threat to the duckling has appeared: someone wants to develop the park into a shopping centre!
The duck becomes the rallying point for the girls and their neighbours, who stage a Lame Duck Protest. But will they succeed? Will the duckling’s parkland home be preserved?
The book deals with issues of conservation and wildlife preservation in a touching way, and is accompanied by beautiful sketches and watercolour illustrations.
