The Thylacine and the Time Machine cover

Buckle up! The time machine awaits!

Join twelve-year-old Violet, her dog Tassie and her new friend Thyla - the ghost of the last Tasmanian Tiger - on a wild ride to learn all about the legendary, elusive and extinct thylacine.

Could there still be hope for one of Australia's most missed (and misunderstood) native animals?

Packed full of fascinating facts about the terrible past and (potentially) exciting future of the Tassie Tiger.
