Summary
 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. From Governor Generals Literary Award finalist Michelle Kadarusman comes a novel about a young violinist who discovers her mothers 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 moms eccentric Australian relatives, middle schooler and passionate violinist Louisa is prepared to be resentful. But life at the familys 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 Eleanora sanctuary for Tasmanian tigers, Australias 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, andthrough Eleanors journalwith 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?©2020 Michelle Kadarusman (P)2026 Pajama Press and The Audio Agency Ltd Animals Animals & Nature Geography & Cultures Literature & Fiction Music & Performing Arts
