A brother and sister stay with an uncle in Seattle for a summer while their parents go to Pakistan to work in a refugee camp. Shannon takes on the responsibility of helping her little brother Cody deal with his lingering fears of 9/11 and helping her uncle. He is no longer a rock climbing engineer - he's changed his life. Now he drives a beat up old van all over Seattle rescuing animals. What does it take to heal broken souls? This is a heart warming story for anyone who has lived with suffering. Hobbs, Will.

Jackie's wild seattle

I think that the author chose this title because he wanted them to try to get pick up the book and read it. Also the author might of picked he title Jackie's wild seattle because people might want to read about 9-11 or about what happend in 9-11. Or even just read a fake story about 9-11 with diffrent people and other stuff.

I think the author chose this title because its about Shannon,the main character,and her borther's uncle who after 9-11 started working for a wildlife rescue center,but while driving the ambulance he gets hurt,and Shannon steps in to help him and the animils. Now its all up to her.
