The Last Wild: Book 1 (The Last Wild Trilogy)

Product Information

I really loved the aspect of the boy being able to connect with animals on a deeper level, along with the whimsical funny parts.

Indeed, wolves seem to have been hunted in the British Isles for as long as they and humans co-existed, but exactly when that period came to an end is a matter of some debate. They, and I, were not so sure to start with, and after the first chapter they did not want to go on with it. In a world where every animal has supposedly been destroyed because of a deadly ‘red-eye’ virus, Kestrel feels more alone than ever.It is forbidden to copy anything for publication elsewhere without written permission from the copyright holder. However, it is highly likely that our animals will one day become extinct, our lands turned to waste, and that our food will be nothing but re-hydrated flavours. Captain Bains was summoned to the scene but immediately stated that the corpse was not that of the young wolf he had lost. By this time the story had been taken up by the London newspapers and become something of a sensation.

Für ein Kinder-/Jugendbuch eine sehr schöne Geschichte mit ein paar Längen und Ungereimtheiten, aber trotzdem kurzweilig. The way Torday paints a picture of the quarantine zones, his characters, the wild, etc, you can really picture it all in your head and feel as though you are running along with Kester and his band of animals.His Mum died and he is in a upside down glass boat and he isn't the only kid there is more children like Maze and Big Brenda,Dumbinga and may more! He obviously had a lot of fun writing the animal characters in a comical style redolent of disney movies. We are told that Archdeacon Magenniss eventually shot the beast at Lismoreville (a place I can find no other record of) in April of the year, and that it was found to be nothing but a large dog gone feral.
