Olivia Wild: The Cry of the Coquí
The animals were only the beginning.
At fourteen, Olivia Wild thought she was finally beginning to understand her strange ability.
She can hear animals.
She can send thoughts back.
And after everything she survived in Florida, Olivia has learned that when nature speaks, she should listen.
But Puerto Rico is about to teach her something she never imagined.
When Olivia travels to the island with her family, the unmistakable call of the coqu leads her deep into the rainforests surrounding El Yunque. At first, she believes the frogs are trying to warn her about a massive development project threatening the mountain.
Then the coqu go silent.
And Olivia begins hearing something else.
A voice speaking Spanish.
Soon, Olivia is experiencing visions that don't belong to her-memories of another time, another life, and a mysterious Ta no girl who seems unable to see her.
Until one day...
the girl looks back.
As the visions become stronger, Olivia discovers that the voices haunting El Yunque aren't simply memories.
They're spirits.
And they've been waiting for someone who can hear them.
With Uncle BJ, Jay, Grammy, and BJ's longtime Puerto Rican best friend Wiki beside her, Olivia must uncover what the mountain is trying to show her before development changes El Yunque forever. But Olivia is fourteen now-more confident, more independent, and sometimes a little too certain that she understands what she's hearing.
This time, being wrong could have consequences.
And as Grammy begins uncovering the truth about her own forgotten connection to Olivia's gift, Olivia discovers something even more incredible:
She isn't the first Listener.
She may not even be the only one alive.
Some voices come from animals.
Some come from the land.
Some come from the past.
And somewhere in the world... someone has been looking for Olivia.
Olivia Wild: The Cry of the Coqu is a mysterious, funny, emotional supernatural adventure about family, growing up, protecting the natural world, and learning that hearing something isn't always the same as understanding it.
Perfect for readers who love animals, adventure, Puerto Rico, hidden history, supernatural mysteries, environmental stories, and unforgettable young heroes.
The mountain remembers.
The coqu are calling.
And Olivia Wild is listening.
