Evie and the Animals

LoveReading4Kids Says

This is a delightful pacy read, led by Evie with her super-talent of being able to hear and talk to animals.  When Evie has released the school rabbit and caused a deal of trouble, she promises her father she will ignore her talent – which she does for a whole year. But then animals start to disappear, all sorts of animals, can Evie help to find them and solve their mysterious disappearances? 

This is a timely novel which has themes around helping save the environment and its animals and will surely appeal to all animal lovers.  This character led tightly plotted thriller enables the reader to fully engage with the heart-warming story, whilst also embracing your own difference – making for a very satisfactory reading experience in a chapter book.  

Emily Gravett’s amusingly lifelike illustrations of all the animals add a great deal of pleasure to the reading experience – creating a book you won’t want to put down until you know the end!  A book to stimulate thoughts about the environment and self-worth wrapped up in an excellent story for young readers.
