Everyone talks to animals. Some do it every day, although very few stop to listen for a reply. Lizbet Wood does, and this is just one of the things that set her apart. She really doesn’t understand how different she is until violence shatters her solitary existence. While Lizbet seeks to understand why mother sought refuge on a deserted island in the Pacific Northwest, she comes face to face … to face with the dangers her mother tried, but failed to escape.
When her mother is gravely injured, Lizbet is forced from the island and thrust into a world even more complex and threatening than she could have ever imagined. A world where the animals have no say…or do they?

I liked this one so much that I immediately bought the two sequels so I could find out what happened next.
boring
So-so, not interested enough to read the sequel
I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a girl who communicates with animals raised on an island without much contact with people. There are ensuing books that explain the mystery of her existence and it would be interesting to read the whole series. The plot is not exactly believable but it is fun.
Interesting story, original plot, all around a fun refreshing read!
Loved the first book but then they have parts 2 and 3 which were sadly lacking. I struggled with them.
I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in the series. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars because of the ending. I felt like there should be more to it. I suppose that is why the author wrote the 2nd book…to keep your interest piqued. This is a good teen book.
Great for the teenage reader!
3 1/2 stars.
Really enjoyed it.
Glad I didn’t pay for it! Shallow and trite
Very original story.
There was no cohesion with this book. It sounded like an interesting premise, but it was not executed well.
Interesting notion. Lizbet talks to animals, and they talk to her. Raised on an island by her mother, without any visitors except the postman, Lizbet only knows about the world from what she reads in books. When her mother is injured, they both have to leave to get help for her mother.Life gets much more complicated very fast!
