{"product_id":"the-last-wild","title":"The Last Wild","description":"\"A hugely inventive adventure.\"\n—Eoin Colfer, New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series\n\nIn a world where animals are slowly fading into extinction, twelve-year-old Kester Jaynes feels as if he hardly exists either. He’s been locked away in a home for troubled children and is unable to speak a word. Then one night, a flock of talking pigeons and a bossy cockroach come to help him escape, and he discovers that he can speak—to them. And the animals need him. Only Kester, with the aid of a stubborn, curious girl named Polly, can help them survive.\n\nThe animals saved Kester. But can he save them?\n\n\"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\"\n—The Times (UK)\n\n“Combines a great fondness for animals with an appreciation of the freakish…. The reserved narrative tone and tender yet peculiar view of animals give this piece its own offbeat flavor.”\n—Kirkus Reviews\n\n“Alternately somber, thrilling, and silly.”\n—Publishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0147509653\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0147509653.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Torday, Piers\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
