This is a delightful pacy read, led by Evie with her super-talent of being able to hear and talk to animals. When Evie has released the school rabbit and caused a deal of trouble, she promises her father she will ignore her talent – which she does for a whole year. But then animals start to disappear, all sorts of animals, can Evie help to find them and solve their mysterious disappearances?
This is a timely novel which has themes around helping save the environment and its animals and will surely appeal to all animal lovers. This character led tightly plotted thriller enables the reader to fully engage with the heart-warming story, whilst also embracing your own difference – making for a very satisfactory reading experience in a chapter book.
Emily Gravett’s amusingly lifelike illustrations of all the animals add a great deal of pleasure to the reading experience – creating a book you won’t want to put down until you know the end! A book to stimulate thoughts about the environment and self-worth wrapped up in an excellent story for young readers.
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.

A great book that you can easily get lost in. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
'Evie and the Animals' is a fun packed and exciting book. If you like danger, fun animal facts and talking animals, then this is the perfect book for you. This book has inspired me to never give up and to always keep trying even if I am in a tough situation. This is the first book in the adventure series. A young girl called Evie can hear animals' thoughts. After her mum died in the jungle, she and her Dad moved to England to start a new life. Evie's talent is very rare and many like her have died because people have been greedy for such power. Will Evie have the same fate or will she survive? My favourite character in this book was Beak. He is a little bird who jumps at the chance of adventure.... Read Full Review
