From Governor General's Literary Award finalist Michelle Kadarusman
comes a novel about a young violinist who discovers her mother's
family secretly harbor a sanctuary for extinct Tasmanian tigers in
the remote Australian rainforest Shipped halfway around the world
to spend the summer with her mom's eccentric Australian relatives,
middle schooler and passionate violinist Louisa is prepared to be
resentful. But life at the family's remote camp in the Tasmanian
rainforest is intriguing, to say the least. There are pig-footed
bandicoots, scary spiders, weird noises and odors in the night, and
a quirky boy named Colin who cooks the most amazing meals. Not the
least strange is her Uncle Ruff, with his unusual pet and veiled
hints about something named Convict Rock. Finally, Louisa learns
the truth: Convict Rock is a sanctuary established by her
great-grandmother Eleanor-a sanctuary for Tasmanian tigers,
Australia's huge marsupials that were famously hunted into
extinction almost a hundred years ago. Or so the world believes.
Hidden in the rainforest at Convict Rock, one tiger remains. But
now the sanctuary is threatened by a mining operation, and the last
Tasmanian tiger must be lured deeper into the forest. The problem
is, not since her great-grandmother has a member of the family been
able to earn the shy tigers' trust. As the summer progresses,
Louisa forges unexpected connections with Colin, with the forest,
and-through Eleanor's journal-with her great-grandmother. She
begins to suspect the key to saving the tiger is her very own
music. But will her plan work? Or will the enigmatic Tasmanian
tiger disappear once again, this time forever? A moving
coming-of-age story wrapped up in the moss, leaves, and blue gums
of the Tasmanian rainforest where, hidden under giant ferns,
crouches its most beloved, and lost, creature.
