'This isn't progress; it's destruction dressed in a fluffy robe and slippers'
When the ruthless Victor Blackthorne targets a pristine patch of Australian bushland for his opulent spa resort, he threatens more than just the ancient landscape; he risks dividing a tight-knit small-town community. With corrupt allies in a conflicted councillor and a greedy ranger, it seems nothing stands in his way.
But the Eagle Family are ready to fight back: six-year-old Betty Bird, a precocious child with a fierce spirit; Dr Eagle, her sharp-witted veterinarian mother; her father, a Professor who quotes poetry at the most unexpected moments, and his delightfully unconventional parents. This is a family armed with nothing but determination, two mysteriously intelligent cats, and an unshakeable belief in doing what's right.
As corporate greed clashes with the soul of the wilderness, a legendary panther emerges from the shadows, and whispers of ancient wisdom stir among the trees. Faced with an impending disaster, the town finds that even the smallest voices can make the most powerful changes.
For YA and Adults of all ages.
