An Absence of Squirrels: A Girl on a Quest to Find a Mysterious Creature

Description

Welcome to Thutta. We have a train, an ocean and 5,120 people.

Until one morning, when she follows a cat off a train and sets off a sequence of events involving absent animals, mysterious meetings and sneaky schemes. As the secrets grow into something much bigger than Katli could have imagined, she knows one thing for sure: life on the island will never be boring again.
