Riassunto

WINNER OF THE GUARDIAN CHILDREN'S FICTION PRIZE 2014.

Twelve-year-old Kester thought he had discovered the last wild animals in the land. He thought his adventure was over. He was wrong.

Below the sparkling city of Premium, deep underground, a dark wild remains: animals who believe the time is right to rise up against their human enemies.

And soon Kester realises: he is the only one who can stop them.

Kester Jaynes saved the animals. Can he save the humans too?

Su questo libro

Recensione:

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))

Wildly inventive, moving and gripping. (Frank Cottrell Boyce)

A must-read: brings to mind the smarts and silliness of Roald Dahl. (New York Post)

Inventive, with laughs, tears and cliffhangers. (Sunday Times)

I haven't read a book this good and interesting since The Hunger Games ... an edge-of-your-seat fast-paced read. (Guardian Children's website)
