A classic in the making for anyone who ever longed to be WILD.

October and her dad live in the woods. They know the trees and the rocks and the lake and stars like best friends. They live in the woods and they are wild. And thats the way it is.

Until the year October turns eleven. Thats the year October rescues a baby owl. Its the year Dad falls out of the biggest tree in their woods. The year the woman who calls herself Octobers mother comes back. The year everything changes.

Written in Katya Balens heart-stoppingly beautiful style, this book is a feast for the senses. And, as October fights to find the space to be wild in the whirling chaos of the world beyond the woods, it is also a feast for the soul.
