An amazing story
A magnetic adventure ... find yourself glued like tar to this satisfying, spine-tingling book.
Wildly inventive, moving and gripping.
Splendid stuff
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.
An excellent, punchy adventure tale with vivid characters and an impassioned eco message.
I haven't read a book this good and interesting since The Hunger Games ... an edge-of-your-seat fast-paced read.
Gripping, original and memorable.
Inventive, with laughs, tears and cliffhangers.
A must-read: brings to mind the smarts and silliness of Roald Dahl.
The sequel had better come soon.
A darkly comic and hugely inventive adventure ... it could be the next big thing.
Full of suspense without ever sacrificing warmth.
