Sona and the Golden Beasts Tropical Forest Animals In a rainbow-colored station wagonFrom Newbery Honor and Walter Awardwinning author Rajani LaRocca comes a gripping middle grade fantasy perfect for fans of The Serpents Secret and The Last Mapmaker. Though music is outlawed in the land of Devia, Sona hears it everywhere. Sona is a Malech, a member of the ruling class that conquered Devia centuries ago. Malechs forbade music to prevent the native Devans from using their magic, and Sona hides her abilities lest they put her in danger.
