Elayne Taylor
A former thief who is trying to go straight seeks vengeance on those who framed him.
Four women (a mother, her two biological adult daughters, and her adopted, Black preteen daughter) are consumed by insecurities: body-image worries, career rejection, and romantic confusion for starters.
A group of beavers ask Dr. Dolittle to save their habitat from loggers. The only hope is to get the forest preserved because it's the home of a protected bear, but there's a problem: the bear's the only bear in the forest, so she can't reproduce. Undaunted, Dolittle persuades a circus bear to help out, but he has to teach him not just the ways of the wild, but the wiles of lady bears too.
