"Zane and his animal comrades have foiled Dr. Gristle's terrible plots twice--the doctor still can't talk to animals, and he can't get at the heart of what makes them wild. Zane, however, can talk to them. And what they're telling him is very disturbing. Zane keeps getting in Dr. Gristle's way, though--and now he's being sent as far out of the way as he can get, to a strange 'camp' in the middle of nowhere...In order to get home, Zane must figure out a way to stop Gristle's new plan and make some new friends before he becomes animal feed..."--Dust jacket flap.
