Publisher's summary

Two girls. Two tigers. Four years in the wild.

Two girls survive a terrible flood in the Tasmanian bush and are rescued by a pair of Tasmanian tigers who raise them in the wild. Their story of survival is remarkable, as they adapt to the life of the tiger, learning to hunt and to communicate without the use of human language. When they are discovered and returned to civilization, neither can adapt to being fully human after their extraordinary experience. Totally believable, their story will both shock and captivate listeners as it explores the animal instincts that lie beneath our civilized veneer.

Don't miss this one!

This book was a "daily special" and it looked interesting- Tasmania and the (now extinct but fascinating) Tasmanian Tiger - a canine- like marsupial- are the topics.

It was GREAT! The reader caught the spirit of the narrator and the story is fantastic. What a surprise and I have ordered other books by this author- Sadly no more available at Audible.

Book & Narrator are perfectly paired

What did you love best about Into That Forest?

This is such a beautifully written book, paired with a narrator that absolutely matches the voice of the character with whom the story is told; equals perfection. This book captivated my imagination and heart from the start and never let go. It's written and performed in such a way that felt as if I too could smell and experience the different environments that the girls were in as they traveled with the tigers. One of the most beautiful audio performances I've heard, I couldn't put it down!

Which character – as performed by Lisbeth Kennelly – was your favorite?

Hanna is the most obvious answer because that's who's perspective the story is told. Perhaps it is also because she is the youngest of the 2 girls who through a flash flood are separated from Hannah's parents on an outing. I also appreciated how Hanna was able to "adapt" to challenges after the girls were "caught" (or found). Her voice rang true to me and she seemed wonderful, haunting, and believable.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The writer did such an outstanding job at conveying the sounds, texture, weather, and animals of the various places, combined with the girls emotions, behavioral changes and challenges, and relationship that I easily became invested in the story; caring about the characters, their experiences and their perceptions. I cringed, laughed, was saddened at times and shocked at others. I became tense at pivotal moments, and feared for their recovery.

Any additional comments?

I loved this book and will listen to it again, and share it with others. Thank you for an amazing experience that captivated all my senses.

A very interesting story

The performance by reader was very well done. Told as an old women recalling her life. A life with tigers and a friend. This is a story so well told I feel it could be non fiction. How the girls learn to survive with the Tigers is told so well. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
