Critics Review
-
An excellent, punchy adventure tale with vivid characters and an impassioned eco message.
The Financial 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.
The Times -
Full of suspense without ever sacrificing warmth.
Katherine Rundell -
A darkly comic and hugely inventive adventure … it could be the next big thing.
Eoin Colfer -
Gripping, original and memorable.
Francesca Simon -
A magnetic adventure … find yourself glued like tar to this satisfying, spine-tingling book.
Samuel H. (aged 10)
