said Lottie in surprise.Rosalind knelt down and reached out her hand, but the little koala shrank back. “I think so. I can’t see his mother.”“Do you think something bad has happened?” Maya twisted her plait worriedly.“I don’t know,” said Summer, “but he shouldn’t be apart from his mum. He’s much too young.” Lottie’s green eyes lit up. “It’ll be fine! He’s got us – the Rescue Princesses – to help him! We can find his mum right away.” Her tiara slipped sideways on her red curls and she grabbed it before it fell off. “Maya, why don’t you stay with the baby while the rest of us look for the mother?”“We’ll have to hurry,” Summer told them. “My mum could call us in for lunch at any minute.”Maya crouched down and spoke soothingly to the baby, while the others spread out to search for the mother koala. Kanga flew from tree to tree as if he was helping them.Summer pushed back her golden hair and scanned the tree tops.
