The Last Wild was published ten years ago, and I’m hugely grateful to everyone – agents, publishers, fellow authors, reviewers, teachers, librarians, bloggers, and parents – who have read, reviewed, blurbed, taught and promoted these books to young readers.
They changed my life beyond my wildest dreams, and I am profoundly grateful for all the adventures Kester and friends have sent me on.
But the reasons I wrote the books are now only more pressing. From insects to the life in our rivers, from birds to the big beasts – biodiversity is under threat from human interference as never before.
So please, keep reading and sharing. Because we already had the zoonotic virus bit 😷 – I don’t want anything else from these books to come true!
Keep on running, Kester.
