chapter 1 wild ride Ben pointed at the huge wave rolling toward him and his twin sister Zoe Ready he yelled Zoe grinned Ready Lying flat on her surfboard she began to paddle with her hands She built up speed as the swell approached When they felt the wave lift them up they took it Together they sailed toward the shore arms outstretched They were having a great week staying at Grandma’s cabin by the ocean
Awesome exclaimed Ben I felt like a killer shark out there Zoe looked at Ben He was wearing his shiny brown wetsuit and his brown hair was sticking up in chaotic spikes More like a killer starfish she said A voice came from behind them Ben Zoe They looked up the beach Grandma was waving at them and pointing out to sea They turned to see a sleek speedboat slicing through the water toward them with a familiar blond woman at the helm Ben and Zoe watched the speedboat slide to a sudden stop splashing water into the air It’s Erika Ben said Looks like we’re off on another WILD adventure
Ben and Zoe’s parents were international veterinarians Wherever their work took them Ben and Zoe usually went But in a month the two would be starting school so they had to stay with their grandma for the summer They’d been expecting three boring months with their grandma until their uncle Dr Stephen Fisher got in touch with them He recruited them into WILD his top secret organization that was dedicated to saving endangered animals Their grandma knew all about it but almost no one else did After yelling goodbye to Grandma Ben and Zoe swam out to the speedboat Erika Uncle Stephen’s second-in-command stretched out a hand and helped them climb up the ladder
