Evie and Rhino

By Neridah McMullin

Illustrated by Astred Hicks

A girl with a tragic past and a rhinoceros facing life in captivity form an unlikely and magical bond after a fateful storm. An engaging and moving tale about love, connection and the healing power of friendship.

1891 On a stormy night off the coast of southern Australia, a ship transporting a cargo of exotic animals tosses and turns in enormous seas, and a young rhino cries out in fear. A few miles inland, ten-year-old Evie and her grandfather shelter in their crumbling, once-grand old home. They know too well how deadly storms can be. When all is calm, Evie treks down to the water and makes an extraordinary discovery. A discovery that will change her life, and Rhino’s, for ever.
