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?

My 6 year old daughter and I loved the story. Natascha made the book come alive! The different voices and accents were so well done!
Highly recommended!!

The narration is magical!

This book was a total surprise to me. I love the author and grabbed a few more books without previewing at all so this was a total surprise. I was in love from the first to the last moment.
