Critics Review
Juniper and her brother Bear navigate a world where ‘the Wild’ introduces them to wonders, but dangers lurk in a city ravaged by disease. Juniper’s determination to rescue loved ones, combined with Etienne’s quest for freedom, creates a compelling ecological adventure that’s perfect for fans of dystopian tales such as The Last Wild. Penfold’s skilful storytelling offers a powerful and thought-provoking narrative with themes of courage and resilience that will resonate with 9-12-year-olds. * The School Reading List *
