A brilliant new chapter book for children, from #1 bestselling author Matt Haig.
Eleven-year-old Evie has a talent. A SUPERTALENT.
A talent that can let her HEAR the thoughts of an elephant, and make friends with a dog and a sparrow.
The only problem is, this talent is dangerous. VERY dangerous. That's what her dad says.
So when she frees the school rabbit from its tiny hutch, she vows to keep her talent a secret. But after a face-to-face encounter with a lion, things start to go very wrong. Her dad – and every animal in town – is now in danger. Evie is determined to save them. And to find the truth of her own past. To do that she must battle a mysterious man with a talent more powerful than any other.
As time runs out, she must seek help from the animals, and finally DARE TO BE HERSELF ...
'Touching, funny and packed with memorable characters.'
The Sunday Mail
'The perfect package of happiness.'
Olivia Colman
‘This highly edible story of a girl who wants to save the planet … is most timely and will go down well with fans of Greta Thunberg.’
The Times (UK)
'... has its fair share of thrills and spills but also plenty of important points to make about the interconnectedness of the natural world, environmental degradation, and humankind’s mistreatment of animals.'
Financial Times
