Meet Gadget, a brave little rescue pup with a nose for adventure!
From forest to sea, she discovers the wild wonders of Vancouver Island — marmots on the mountains, otters in the waves, eagles in the sky. Each creature has a story, and Gadget learns how caring for nature helps them all.
A gentle, joyful journey through the Island’s forests, rivers, and shores — and a reminder that even small paws can make a big difference.
“Gadget is the kind of pup every child will want as a friend! Full of mischief, curiosity, and heart, Go With Gadget: Vancouver Island takes young readers on a joyful adventure they won’t forget. Em Koopman’s storytelling is as lively and charming as Gadget herself! This is a must read for young explorers everywhere!”
– Ami Vitale, National Geographic explorer, photographer, and filmmaker
