The forest is dying, and with it the last colony of the rarest animals on earth. Only one person can save them, but she's got problems of her own... After her father is killed, fourteen year old Anna Nelson escapes to Tasmania to be with her godfather, the enigmatic zoologist Peter Bamford. Pete has a secret project in the forest beyond his lonely cabin, but he won't tell her what it is. Only when he disappears, leaving Anna alone, does she realise just how important and fragile her godfather's work really is. With the competing forces of tourism, logging and international smuggling closing in, she must find a way to save the forest before it's too late. There's only one chance, but to take it will risk everything... Set in the beautiful and austere landscape of western Tasmania, Mats Halvard's debut novel is a moving and magical story of courage and love, of loss and life regained, and of how one person really can make a difference.
