The Dark Wild (#2 The Last Wild)
Author(s): Piers Torday
The sequel to The Last Wild, which The New York Post calls "A whimsical yet thoughtful tale that brings to mind the smarts and silliness of Roald Dahl and Norton Juster." 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?
