About this listen

An enchanting new chapter book for children, from number one best-selling author Matt Haig; cover illustration by the award-winning Emily Gravett.

Evie is a little girl with a special talent. She can talk to animals. But when she rescues the school rabbit, Gerald, and sets him free, Evie lands in big trouble. She promises her dad never to talk to animals again. For a whole year, Evie ignores them all. She doesn’t chat to the birds and dogs. She even ignores a little silver tabby cat who miaows: ‘Help me! Help me!’

But when Evie sees the same silver kitten on a missing poster, she secretly starts using her magical gift again. Soon she discovers that this cat isn't the only animal to have gone missing in town. And if Evie won’t find them, who will?

Feelgood!

I'm an adult and really liked the interaction with the animals. Who wouldn't like to hear what they have to say? And an excellent way to invoke empathy with animals. Recommended!

The book is so fun

from my son aged 7: I liked this book because it's about animals. I liked the part when the villain gets killed.

from me: this is a lovely story, the main character's voice is just very relaxing and kept the children glued to the floor with open ears. The story talks about deeply caring for animals and their environment and I felt it opened quite a bit deep conversations with my kids aged 7 and 6.

Excellent ❤️❤️

I simply love animals and this describes them in a way I could had imagines them to. And a really good way of saying ‘help stop climate change/ deforestation.’
I would recommend this to 8-12 years because something’s might be hard to understand and 13+ might find it stupid. The gender I recommend it to is girls mainly because the main characters are girls/ women, but don’t thing I’m being sexist any gender can read this book 🤪

Loved it - and I'm an adult!

This is the first time I've ever phoned in sick at work in order to finish a book.
Natasha's narrative is fabulous, especially her elephant voice!
