Review
Violet is undertaking a school project on the de-extinction of the Tasmanian Tiger. But with only limited time to finish it, will she be able to come up with enough information? Enter Thyla – the ghost of the last Thylacine!
Together with her dog, Tassie, Violet embarks on a time travelling adventure that sees her trying to understand what happened to the Tasmanian Tiger in the past, and what could possibly happen in the the future...
This is a highly informative graphic novel about an area of science that presents more questions than answers, particularly ethical and moral ones.
