Tiger the cat moves to Canberra with his owner. Tiger befriends Wanda, a blue-tongue lizard who's suspicious of Introduced Species. He even condescends to speak to Cleo and Tony, two mongrels next door. At the Sacred Pool in a nearby park he meets Price, a regal bullfrog, his loyal followers, and Eudora, a raven with magical powers.
Before Tiger can join the Sacred Few, Prince demands that he prove himself worthy. Tiger has no idea what great adventures lie ahead, but he's game - so long as it doesn't mean missing out on Cat Gourmet!
Like the title suggests, 'The Greenhouse Effect' tackles environmental issues head-on, but in a dramatic way that will engage children who are already aware of the dangers facing the Earth today. With its unique mix of supernatural and extra-terrestrial elements, the book is bound to entertain as well as impress upon younger readers the need to take personal responsibility for the health of our environment.
The importance of animal characters and their perspectives reinforces the point that all living things, not just humans, have a stake in working together to make the world a better place. Perhaps there are things that we can learn from our companions on Spaceship Earth about how to live more positively.
