What if every animal around you had a voice... and you were the only one who could hear it?
Twelve-year-old Olivia Wild has always loved animals. But after her twelfth birthday, something impossible happens.
She starts hearing them.
Not with her ears.
Inside her mind.
Her black Labrador, Tux, is mostly concerned with food. Her coonhound, Roxy, has plenty of opinions. The horses remember things Olivia never knew they remembered. Birds, raccoons, turtles, deer, and creatures hiding deep in the Florida woods all have thoughts, fears, memories, and warnings of their own.
At first, Olivia's strange new ability feels exciting.
Then the animals begin asking for help.
As construction spreads toward the wild land near her home, Olivia discovers that roads, fences, and new neighborhoods are cutting animals off from the places they depend on. A displaced raccoon has lost his home. Tortoises are running out of safe ground. Deer are being forced into dangerous crossings. And a mother bobcat is trying to protect her two young while the forest around them begins to disappear.
Olivia knows what the animals are trying to tell her.
The problem is convincing everyone else.
With the help of her family, her hilarious and adventurous Uncle BJ, and an old silver pendant connected to a mystery in her family's past, Olivia begins uncovering the truth about an ability once known as the Listening.
She may be what her family called a Listener.
But having an extraordinary gift doesn't mean Olivia can fix everything.
When the forest erupts with hundreds of terrified voices, Olivia learns one of the hardest lessons of all:
You can't save everything.
But that doesn't mean you save nothing.
Armed with trail-camera photos, wildlife evidence, maps, community support, and a stubborn refusal to give up, Olivia fights to protect one important piece of Florida before it is gone forever.
And just when she thinks her first adventure is finally over...
a mysterious voice reaches her from far away.
It knows her name.
And it asks one chilling question:
So you can hear us too.
Olivia Wild: The Voices of Florida is a fast-moving middle-grade adventure filled with animals, mystery, humor, family, environmental themes, secret abilities, and heart.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Animal adventures
- Wildlife and nature
- Strong girl protagonists
- Family mysteries
- Secret powers
- Florida settings
- Emotional, meaningful stories
- Series with cliffhanger endings
This is more than a story about a girl who can hear animals.
It's a story about learning to listen, learning what really matters, and discovering that even one person can make a difference.
The wild is always talking.
Olivia Wild is finally listening.
