Run Wild

Izzy and Asha need a space to call their own, away from difficult families, the Skull brothers and the trouble they bring.

But the derelict building site where they stake their claim already belongs to something else, a wilderness they never expected and an injured wolf that desperately needs their help.

Can they reconnect to the wild and save the wolf? Or is their pack too weak to fight much stronger powers?

A stunning tale of our lost connection to nature and the wild that hides in us all, from renowned storyteller Gill Lewis.

“A beautifully written, poignant tale of friendship and freedom that highlights the value of connecting with nature, particularly for young people living in cities” Book Trust

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+

“I don’t want to give away the story of the children and their wolf because that would spoil your enjoyment but what I can say is that the story is as much about exciting encounters with nature in all its forms rather than just a story about an urban wolf. We get to discover some of the facts and myths about the wolf but we also discover information about rare farting beetles, sea birds that look like dinosaurs and just how wonderful it is to run barefoot on grass and earth that hasn’t been covered in concrete or asphalt.
