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