"Maisie Cothay has never known the feel of human flesh: born with the power to kill or resurrect at her slightest touch, she has spent her childhood sequestered in her family's manor at the edge of a mysterious forest. Maisie's father, an anthropologist who sees her as more experiment than daughter, has warned Maisie not to venture into the wood. Locals talk of men disappearing within, emerging with addled minds and strange stories. What he does not tell Maisie is that for over a millennium her female ancestors have also vanished into the wood, never to emerge-for she is descended from a long line of cursed women. But one day Maisie's father disappears, and Maisie must venture beyond the walls of her carefully constructed life to find him."--Provided by publisher.

This book explains how animals explore their world through the sense of touch, with skin, fur, biological systems, and more. A variety of animals are profiled, including butterflies, cats, monkeys, dogs, earthworms, and even humans, with specific examples of how feeling helps mammals, insects, and people find food, navigate the world, and stay safe from predators.
