The shifting of shape grew upon her as she grew. As slow and stealthy as a polecat stalking a vole. A twitch of long ears, as yet unseen. The sudden thump of a powerful hind-leg, hers yet not yet hers. The sleekening of the flank. A change in the smell of the earth and the scents on the wind.And then it was fully upon her and she was Hare. Silver Hare - that most magical of all shape-shifters. Loveday Gwynne is a shapeshifter. When she transforms into Hare, she is full of joy, running and leaping through the grass on the moors, a silver hare with a special connection to the silver moon.But as a girl, she must be quiet and stay unnoticed, because the the old magic of the shapeshifters is no longer trusted in the village of Penros. The new Elder of Penros is determined both to rid the village of Shapeshifters and to mine the cliffs below for gold, something forbidden by the old magic.Balanced between the human world and the animal, Loveday must find a way to use her powers to reclaim her home, before it falls into the sea...

A desperate town. A child who emerges from the marshes. A falcon that helps her save them all.The child - if child it was - came out of the wild-ness. It came out of the sparse bleak marsh where few dared go and none came back. And though the town grew accustomed to the creature they did not forget from whence it came. And they whispered that there was no knowing whether she was sent as a blessing or a bane.' When the child emerges from the wilderness, no one in the town knows what to do with her. She is odd - half-wild, without speech and seems to have an unnatural bond with animals - especially the falcon, who is always circling above her. The wise-woman of the town takes her in, and names her Rhodd, but the rest of the town remain suspicious.Over the years, as Rhodd grows, the town realises that the river, which is their connection to the wider world, is beginning to die, and eventually a dark sickness begins to spread. Soon, too soon, the townspeople turn their suspicion on Rhodd and her falcon.And so, Rhodd sets out to discover what - or who - is causing the river to dry up...to protect her mother, her falcon and herself...A beautiful and enthralling adventure about love, belonging, the delicate balance of nature - and the wildness within us all, for fans of The Last Wild and Where the Crawdads Sing, for 9+ readers.
