A young girl discovers the silent suffering of captive animals - and vows to set them free - in this poignant middle-grade novel perfect for fans of The One and Only Ivan.
Nine-year-old Amara has always felt a deep connection to animals, but when she encounters four broken souls - a wolf, an elephant, an orca, and a macaw - trapped in captivity, she realizes something is terribly wrong. Unlike the crowds who laugh and cheer, Amara sees their pain:
- Shadow: a majestic gray wolf who paces endlessly, his wild spirit crushed by zoo walls
- Tembo: a gentle circus elephant with scars hidden beneath his "costume"
- Kiki: a brilliant orca separated from her pod, forced to perform tricks for fish
- Rio: a scarlet macaw whose clipped wings keep him from the sky he loves
Armed with nothing but ribbons, protest signs, and a heartfelt letter to the president, Amara embarks on a daring mission to give them a voice. But when the adults in power refuse to listen, nature itself intervenes - with a storm that could change everything.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Animal POV chapters that spark empathy
- Brave kid activists who won't take "no" for an answer
- Stories blending realism with magical hope
- Books about real-world animal advocacy
Book Details:
- Ages: 8-12
- Themes: Animal welfare, courage, friendship, conservation
