Bei einem traditionellen Weihnachtsessen verschwindet ein Halsband.

A seemingly ordinary 14-year-old boy discovers he has the ability to talk with animals and they with him. It is not at all like Dr. Doolittle. Hamish learns he is a Speaker, one in a centuries-long tradition of rare individuals who have the ability to talk with animals, and who emerge when the world is confronted by extraordinary crises. But Hamish doesn’t know what crisis he has been called to address, and not even the animals he speaks to have the answers for him. Speaker is a coming-of-age story about overcoming grief and letting go.
