About the Author
Piers Torday was born in Northumberland, which is possibly the one part of England where more animals live than people. After working as a producer and writer in theatre, live comedy and TV, he now lives in London - where there are more animals that you might think. The Last Wild is followed by the sequel (and concluding volume) The Dark Wild. You can find out more about Piers and follow his blog at www.pierstorday.co.uk.
Reviews
An Indie Next List Selection

"A hugely inventive adventure."
--Eoin Colfer

"Splended stuff."
--Eva Ibbotson

"A whimsical yet thoughtful tale that brings to mind the smarts and silliness of Roald Dahl and Norton Juster."
--The New York Post

* "Alternately somber, thrilling, and silly, filled with eccentric human and animal characters with distinctive voices."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Should have broad appeal. Recommend this book to readers who like the Books of Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau."
--VOYA

"Combines a great fondness for animals with an appreciation of the freakish."
--Kirkus Reviews

"An enchanted adventure with a message of empowerment and hope that ought to sweep readers along."
--Booklist

"When ninety-nine pigeons smash through the windows of Kester's prison and carry him North to the last of the animals.... it's a moment as thrilling as when James flies off in the Giant Peach. Highly recommended"
--The Times (UK)
