Song of the River
When a storm floods the valley where Cari and her mum live, destroying their home, things feel pretty bleak. But hope appears in an unexpected form.
Local nature rangers have a plan to reintroduce beavers into the area, as the changes that these amazing animals make to the waterways could prevent another flood.
Cari knows that she has to get involved. But with the project facing resistance from other locals, can she convince them to give the beavers a chance – and will it be enough to save her home from being destroyed for a second time?

Reviews:
“The story has a great message about the impact beavers have on the wild and I enjoyed how much this book showed about that as I didn’t know they were so beneficial. The book has a great and satisfying ending and I love how everything resolves for Cari and her mum. The way Cari’s emotions are linked to the river is something I liked too as well as her reflections in the last chapter.” Strawberry Post
