When animals talk, it's time humans listened: Harlon has been raised to protect her younger siblings, twins Ash and Xeno, and their outlawed power of communicating with animals. But when the sinister Automators attack their mountain home they must flee for their lives. Xeno is kidnapped and Harlon and Ash are separated. In a thrilling and dangerous adventure they must all journey alone through the ice fields, forests and oceans of Rumyc to try to rescue each other and fulfil a mysterious promise about a lost island made to their mother. A stunning environmental epic with cover and chapter illustrations by award-winning illustrator, Jackie Morris.
'The feel of an absolute modern classic about it ... Hope and beauty are a hard song to sing, but Nicola does, and this is it.'

I was chilled, heartbroken and felt reflected in it too, but the story, it is glorious and visionary with epic adventures and beautiful characters! I loved it so much.' Dara McAnulty; 'A gripping adventure that will set your heart racing and stir your soul. Listen to the song and it might just awake the wild in you.’ Helen Scales; 'Beautiful. Heart-wrenching, gripping, strange and glorious.' Liz Hyder; 'The Song That Sings Us is a story of our time. It parallels the urgency of the challenges we face to protect this world.’ Gill Lewis; 'Wild, powerful and passionate, an extraordinary weaving of fierce action and tender poetry, a heart-wrenching yet hopeful symphony of the threads that connect all life on Earth.’ Sophie Anderson
