Gemma and the Lost Ones: When small voices cry out, big hearts find the way.

When two endangered joeys cry out for help, one girl's special gift becomes their only hope.

Deep in the Australian bush, Gemma hears voices that others can't-the whispers and calls of the animals around her. When she discovers two frightened joeys far from safety, she knows she must act fast.

A rare eastern quoll and a Tasmanian devil have escaped through a storm-damaged fence at the local wildlife sanctuary. Now they're lost, vulnerable, and in danger from feral predators. With her sister Abby by her side, Gemma follows the clues left by the creatures of the bush-a long-nosed potoroo, and even a wise dingo-to guide the joeys back home before nightfall.

Perfect for readers aged 6-10, this heartwarming Australian adventure celebrates:

• Wildlife conservation and rewilding efforts
• Courage, compassion, and listening to the natural world
• Australia's endangered species returning to their ancient homes

Includes educational information about:

• Eastern quolls, Tasmanian devils, and other native Australian animals
• The important work of sanctuaries
• What kids can do to help Australian wildlife

A beautifully told story in verse that teaches children about environmental stewardship, respect for Country, and the power of working together to protect our precious native species.
