Bookroo's summary

Jasmine and Tom rescue a lively baby goat at the fair, but sneaking it home is just the start. Willow, the goat, is a natural escape artist, and Jasmine's parents aren't thrilled. Determined to prove Willow's worth, Jasmine enters her in an agility contest. Will this daring plan convince her parents to keep the spirited goat, or is there a better home for Willow? Join Jasmine on a heartwarming adventure filled with laughter and unexpected challenges as she navigates the joys and trials of animal caretaking.

From the publisher

After Jasmine saves a baby goat from a dire fate, its athletic talents lead to comical mischief–and some difficult decisions. On a trip to the local fair, Jasmine and her best friend, Tom, discover an orphaned baby goat for sale. The owner says he cannot raise her, so this seems like the perfect use for their spending money. But getting the goat home without Jasmine’s parents realizing is nearly impossible, and so is keeping her inside a pen–Willow loves to jump! Jasmine decides to enter the goat in an agility contest (sheepdogs, move over) to show Mom and Dad just how wonderful Willow is. Will Jasmine’s parents agree to keep the little escape artist? Or is there a better home for Willow than Oak Tree Farm? In a lighthearted adventure, author Helen Peters and illustrator Ellie Snowdon invite readers on a laugh-out-loud romp through the ups and downs of animal caretaking.
