Books Included in This Collection:
The Last Wild
Kester Jaynes’s ordinary life is upended when a flock of talking pigeons arrive in his bedroom, signaling a world where wildlife clings to survival against a silent threat to nature. This opening instalment introduces a brave, resourceful boy who discovers he can be the bridge between humans and animals. With brisk chapters, witty moments, and a keen sense of ecological warning, The Last Wild invites readers to imagine what it would take to save a planet that has started to forget its wildness. It’s a spirited invitation to questions of courage, friendship, and stewardship that will resonate with readers stepping into middle-grade adventures for the first time.

The Dark Wild
In this gripping sequel, Kester realises that danger hides below the city’s glittering surface. Underground, a “Dark Wild” justice movement gathers pace, and animals begin to mobilise against human threats. Kester discovers that his actions have consequences far beyond his own life, and he becomes a crucial link in a fragile alliance between species. The Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize 2014 recognition echoes the book’s blend of peril, compassion, and clever plotting. The pace stays taut as themes of trust, responsibility, and sacrifice deepen, inviting readers to root for a boy who must choose between safety and the hard, hopeful road to coexistence.

The Wild Beyond
The final volume widens the horizon: a blue whale carries messages from across the sea, a colossal steel dome rises from the Four Towers, and a small mouse holds the key to humanity’s future. Kester faces his most daunting challenge yet, where courage, strategy, and faith in unlikely allies are tested to the limit. The trilogy concludes on a high, resonant note—an epic, morally charged quest that affirms the power of empathy, resilience, and collective action to shape a brighter world for both people and animals.
