A young girl discovers the silent suffering of captive animals - and vows to set them free - in this poignant middle-grade novel perfect for fans of The One and Only Ivan.

Nine-year-old Amara has always felt a deep connection to animals, but when she encounters four broken souls - a wolf, an elephant, an orca, and a macaw - trapped in captivity, she realizes something is terribly wrong. Unlike the crowds who laugh and cheer, Amara sees their pain:

  • Shadow: a majestic gray wolf who paces endlessly, his wild spirit crushed by zoo walls
  • Tembo: a gentle circus elephant with scars hidden beneath his "costume"
  • Kiki: a brilliant orca separated from her pod, forced to perform tricks for fish
  • Rio: a scarlet macaw whose clipped wings keep him from the sky he loves
  • Armed with nothing but ribbons, protest signs, and a heartfelt letter to the president, Amara embarks on a daring mission to give them a voice. But when the adults in power refuse to listen, nature itself intervenes - with a storm that could change everything.
