    About this audiobook

    Twelve-year-old Kester Jaynes thought he had discovered the last wild animals in the land. He thought his adventure was over. He was wrong.  Below the sparkling city of Premium, deep underground, a dark wild remains: animals who believe the time is right to rise up against their human enemies.  And soon Kester realizes: he is the only one who can stop them. Kester Jaynes saved the animals. Can he save the humans too?  The sequel to Piers Torday's The Last Wild takes the adventure from country to city, with all of the first book's excitement, humor, and heart.

    Author

    Piers Torday

    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.

      The second book in The Last Wild Trilogy that continues the journey of a young boy who can speak to animals who was chosen as the one to save them and humanity from the dystopian world that had evolved from greed, viruses, and a lack of connection to the environment. A fast paced creative story that was long listed for the Guardian Children's award.
