This youth novel is part of the youth series The Child Who Spoke to Animals. It continues from Mauritius, the Child and His Extraordinary Animals. Thibault returns to his country of origin, a place he barely knows. In Mauritius he was a little French boy; in France he discovers himself as a stranger. Solitary among humans whose behavior he does not always understand, he maintains a unique bond with animals, companions of his childhood. A keen observer, he has learned to love them, to understand them, and to make himself understood. He perfects this gift through a secret code invented with an ultrasonic whistle, first tested on Prince, his protective dog. Carried by an incredible destiny, Thibault is drawn from adventure to adventure, shielded by a mysterious force that attracts animals and drives them to defend him. Thibault is not a child like any other. He is being prepared for a mission that only the future will reveal.
