Listening For Tigers

From the award-winning author of Music for Tigers comes the highly anticipated sequel, Listening for Tigers! A year after her life-changing adventure in Tasmania, Louisa is spending the summer at her grandfather’s farmhouse in rural Ontario. Recovering from an injured elbow and preparing for her next musical chapter, she carries an extraordinary secret: the Tasmanian tiger, believed extinct for nearly a century—still survives in the wild. When a de-extinction organization begins searching for evidence of the lost species and Louisa’s biologist mother is asked to help, Louisa frets that Ellie—the thylacine she helped protect—is again in danger. As Louisa navigates family challenges and a frightening accident of her own, she finds guidance in the steady wisdom of her grandfather and the journals of her great-grandmother Eleanor. Through music, dreams, and the rhythms of the nature, Louisa begins to understand that intuition and science can exist side by side. A stirring story of courage and healing that allows young readers to reach their own conclusions toward the plight of vanishing animals in our world. Listening for Tigers reminds us of the enduring power of listening deeply to the wild.
