Having escaped their city, Juniper Green and her brother Bear have settled in Ennerdale with their dad and his family. Every day the Wild introduces them to a new wonder, but Juniper can’t stop worrying about her grandmother and best friend left behind. When she hears news that disease has entered the city, she’s determined to bring her loved ones to safety.
Trapped in a city riddled with disease and run by a ruthless leader, Etienne longs for the Wild. With the guards becoming more aggressive to counteract the growing rebellion, Etienne’s prepared to fight for his freedom. But will he be able to protect himself and keep those around him safe until Juniper returns from the Wild?
The compelling and thought-provoking sequel to the much-loved WHERE THE WORLD TURNS WILD, this ecological adventure is perfect for fans of THE LAST BEAR, RUNNING ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD and THE LAST WILD.

When I started this book, I didn’t realise it was a sequel to Where The World Turns Wild. With that in mind, I don’t feel like I missed out on not reading it first, I feel this story stands up on its own. You learn about parts of Juniper and Bears’ previous adventure throughout the book.
Nicola Penfold has written a beautiful story that draws you into its world so easily that you get completely lost inside it. Even though this is for 8-12 year olds, at times, it didn’t feel like I was reading a children’s book. This is an interesting and compelling story, full of hope and wonder. The characters are engaging, thoughtful, resilient, and brave in their nature. I also love how this story touches on how we need to nurture and protect nature and all that it is.
It was an absolute pleasure to read, I recommend this book to both children and adults. I will be reading the first book to know where Juniper and Bears’ story began.
