Publisher's Synopsis
10-year old Maya has an incredible secret - she can talk to animals and understand their words and emotions. When strange disturbances begin threatening the forest near her home, Maya knows she must use her special gift to investigate.
Teaming up with her loyal animal friends including clever squirrels, a protective bear, and a mischievous crow, Maya uncovers illegal animal poachers trapping creatures of the woods to sell on the black market. After nearly being captured herself, Maya stages a daring escape that inspires the animals to rally together.
Maya begins training to better defend the forest, pushing her communication abilities like never before. It's not long before an even more sinister operation is discovered in the depths of the woods - a secret laboratory experimenting on animals and abandoned children.
Leveraging all her courage, Maya orchestrates a dramatic rescue mission alongside her remarkable animal allies. As they defeat the cruel villains, Maya's destiny to give voice to the voiceless is truly awakened.
