About this listen
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 town 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 town 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 of the town takes her in, and names her Rhodd, but the rest of the town remain suspicious.
Over the years, as Rhodd grows, the town 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 townspeople 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.

Critic Reviews
Wilder has a gorgeous, fable-like quality to it. It's full of courage, menace, hope and friendship, and set in a gloriously wild, marshy world that will stay with me. I didn't want to end, nor to say goodbye to its fiery, animal-whispering heroine Rhodd.
This book gripped me like a great hawk in its talons and didn't let me go ... utterly phenomenal.
