A thrilling animal adventure for fans of Roald Dahl, David Walliams and Katherine Rundell

This is the story of a boy named Kester. He has rescued the last wild animals in the world, and saved his capital city from destruction. But now he must face his greatest challenge yet, because:

1. The only blue whale on the planet has brought news from across the ocean
2. A mysterious steel dome has risen from the Four Towers
3. Out there, somewhere, a brave mouse holds the key to the future…

Reviews

Wildly inventive, moving and gripping.

Inventive, with laughs, tears and cliffhangers.
Francesca Simon
Gripping, original and memorable.
Samuel H. (aged 10)
A magnetic adventure ... find yourself glued like tar to this satisfying, spine-tingling book.
Katherine Rundell
Full of suspense without ever sacrificing warmth.
Eoin Colfer
A darkly comic and hugely inventive adventure ... it could be the next big thing.
The Financial Times
An excellent, punchy adventure tale with vivid characters and an impassioned eco message.
New York Post
A must-read: brings to mind the smarts and silliness of Roald Dahl.
Eva Ibbotson
Splendid stuff
Guardian Children's website
I haven't read a book this good and interesting since The Hunger Games ... an edge-of-your-seat fast-paced read.
The Guardian
An amazing story
Observer
The sequel had better come soon.
The Times
Written in vivid and urgent style ... As thrilling as James and the Giant Peach ... The Last Wild may be as critical to the new generation as Tarka the Otter.
