4-6Companions Quartet series.
This first installment introduces Connie Lionheart, a teenager tied by her animal communication skill to an ancient society devoted to protecting mythical creatures. Connie's first challenge is to shield a group of sirens from an overzealous oil company. Though the book's a bit preachy, its ecological bent grounds this fantasy in today's reality.
