Thank you NewSouth Publishing for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

Louisa would rather spend her summer practicing for her youth orchestra audition instead of flying halfway around the world to her family’s Tasmanian bush camp. But deep in this remote Australian rainforest crouches an incredible secret.

Review:

Shout out to the epic Caitlin from NewSouth Books Australia who sent me a signed copy of this gem!!!!

First off, I love reading home grown stories. There are never enough books set in Australia and this is something that I adore.

Secondly, for such a short, middle grade book, I love the depth and the meanings that you stumble across. Nature, preserving wildlife and family are the key ingredients across the book that are woven together in short chapters.

Louisa was a gorgeous character and spoke like a true young stubborn woman, so her interactions with other characters were organic. The book flowed effortless and Kadarusman is a wonderful writer. I would definitely recommend this to the younger generations for a beautiful and sweet read.

Rating: 4/5
