Song That Sings Us

Who are you if you've never seen another face like yours? Where do you belong if you don't know where your home is? What do you call yourself when others call you 'freak'? Skrimsli is the only flame-coloured tiger born in a litter of white cubs. He and his friends, Owl and Kal, must escape the clutches of tyrannical circus owner Kobret Majak and his twin assassin-acrobats, stop a war, and save an ancient forest. They're helped by the Palatine and her eagle, a chihuahua who thinks she's a wolf, a horse with a heart of gold - and the crew of a very unusual ship.

Harlon has been raised to protect her younger siblings, twins Ash and Xeno, both Listeners - those who can hear what's inside animals' heads and even plant thoughts in their minds. When their home is attacked by the Automators, who aim to stamp out all Listeners, the children must flee for their lives. In a thrilling and dangerous adventure, they must journey alone across Rumyc to try to rescue each other - and fulfil the promise made to their mother that they will find the island lost in the deepest part of the ocean.
