Where The World Turns Wild (Where the World Turns Wild, 1)

Product Information

Juniper is incredible to, the strength and determination she shows throughout the book is inspiring and her instinct to protect her brother is second to none.

This book is a true classic of the future and I would recommend it to both adults and children, as a story to enjoy with the taste of what could happen to our world if we don't appreciate what we have around us. The relationship between the siblings was just great, I loved how pure and protective they were of each other.Where the World Turns Wild is a stark imagining of the climate crisis, and the colossal human loss that could come from ignoring it. This is a charming dystopia about how society copes when it has to turn its back on the natural world.

This is a great read with an environmental message and wonderfully strong characters in Juniper and Bear.

Read during the aftermath of a pandemic and lockdown, the opening really struck a chord, ‘a disease so complex , so shifting’. When Abbot commands Bear’s blood is tested while Juniper is on a school outing to The Plant House, it’s obvious the time has come for the sister and brother to leave Portia Steel’s city.Bookwagon recommends Where the World Turns Wild to readers who seek inspiration, information, wonder and danger. I adored the strong connection between Juniper, Bear and Annie Rose, and you could really feel just how much they cared for one another. There are some uncomfortably familiar descriptions of the situation, though with a sensitive approach this story is actually the ideal vehicle to discuss the current world situation, particularly with regards to now commonplace vocabulary such as immunity and isolation and the resetting or ‘rewilding’ of nature when humans are kept at bay. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors.
