Evie and the Animals by Matt Haig
WHEN EVIE TALKS TO ANIMALS … THEY TALK BACK.
Eleven-year-old Evie has a talent: a supertalent. She can HEAR what animals are thinking.
She promises to keep it top secret, but then an evil pet-thief strikes.
Every animal in town is in danger and only by DARING TO BE HERSELF can Evie save her furry and feathered friends.
The reason Evie was special is that she had an Ability. The Ability had a capital A because it was a very important ability. She could communicate with animals. -Matt Haig
