Sinopsis	WILDER 'This book gripped me like a great hawk in its talons and didn't let me go ... utterly phenomenal' - Zillah Bethell, author of The Shark Caller A desperate village. A child who emerges from the marshes. A falcon that helps her save them all. The child - if child it was - came out of the wild-ness. It came out of the sparse bleak marsh where few dared go and none came back. And though the village grew accustomed to the creature they did not forget from whence it came. And they whispered that there was no knowing whether she was sent as a blessing or a bane.' When the child emerges from the wilderness, no one in the village knows what to do with her. She is odd - half-wild, without speech and seems to have an unnatural bond with animals - especially the falcon, who is always circling above her. The Wise-Woman takes her in, and names her Rhodd, but the rest of the villagers remain suspicious. Over the years, as Rhodd grows, the village realises that the river, which is their connection to the wider world, is beginning to die, and eventually a dark sickness begins to spread. Soon, too soon, the villagers turn their suspicion on Rhodd and her falcon. And so, Rhodd sets out to discover what - or who - is causing the river to dry up . . . to protect her mother, her falcon and herself... A beautiful and enthralling adventure about love, belonging, the delicate balance of nature - and the wildness within us all, for fans of The Last Wild and Where the Crawdads Sing, for 9+ readers. PENNY CHRIMES Penny Chrimes writes magical adventure stories for children, set on the dark streets of Dickensian London. In her debut novel, Tiger Heart, the heroine - Fly - leads a gang of street kids - the 'gutterlings' - in their adventures around the city. Tiger Heart begins when Fly decides to escape her job as a chimney sweep and ends up falling into a tiger's cage. With the help of her gang, she vows to free the tiger, despite the dangerous forces working against them. The Dragon and her Boy is a fiery adventure about the last living dragon under London (who loves crumpets) and a gutterling called Stick. In order to protect the dragon and rescue his oldest friends, Stick had to confront the terrors of his childhood. Penny loves spending time exploring the streets of London, treading the same paths as the gutterlings, and finding their magical stories hidden in the stones of the city. She spent most of her career as a journalist, working in print and television news, but now writes full time from her home in South London with the help of two cats, Betsy and Bonnie.
