The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett
When the Germans attack their Romany encampment during World War I, Andrej and his younger brother, Tomas, flee through a ravaged countryside under cover of darkness, guarding a secret bundle. Their journey leads to a bombed-out town, where the boys discover a hidden wonder: a zoo filled with creatures in need of hope. Like Andrej and Tomas, the animals wolf and eagle, monkey and bear, lioness and seal, kangaroo and llama, chamois and boar have stories to share and a mission to reclaim their lives.
Master storyteller Sonya Hartnett has crafted a magical and moving fable about war and redemption and what it means to be free.
Sonya Hartnett is the author of several acclaimed novels - the first written when she was just thirteen - and the recipient of many prestigious awards in her native Australia. She says Tin and his tunneling had their origin in ants: I was living at the time in two rooms, just going back and forth, back and forth as I watched an entire summer of ants excavating under my house. One day it occurred to me that they probably had a huge palace under there. And that's when I started to think about ways of taking your existence into your own hands - of how, if the space around you was not big enough, you might just dig out some more. This is Sonya Hartnett's first book with Candlewick Press.
