Wildby Alex Mallory
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: July 8th 2014
Synopsis:
The forest is full of secrets, and no one understands that better than Cade. Foraging, hunting, surviving— that’s all he knows. Alone for years, Cade believes he’s the sole survivor. At least, until he catches a glimpse of a beautiful stranger…
Dara expected to find natural wonders when she set off for a spring break camping trip. Instead, she discovers a primitive boy— he’s stealthy and handsome and he might be following her. Intrigued, Dara seeks him out and sets a catastrophe in motion.
Thrust back into society, Cade struggles with the realization that the life he knew was a lie. But he’s not the only one. Trying to explain life in a normal town leaves Dara questioning it.
As the media swarm and the police close in, Dara and Cade risk everything to get closer. But will the truth about Cade’s past tear them apart?
A YA Tarzan retelling.
“This novel combines adventure and romance into an engaging read. Cade and Dara’s struggle to be together shines.” - Kirkus Reviews
“The story is engaging and makes the reader want to know what will happen…next.” - VOYA
“The plotting of this retelling… is smart; A fine addition to any YA collection.” - School Library Journal
“WILD delivers a fresh take on a classic story, with authentic characters who come alive on the page and an exhilarating romance.” - Megan Crewe, author of the Fallen Worlds trilogy
Alex Mallory is a pen name for YA author Saundra Mitchell. She’s a big fan of reading, history, camping and competitive M&M sorting.
She once crossed a dilapidated train trestle in the middle of the night, 200 feet above the Wabash River, in a futile attempt to prove her love to someone who had no idea she existed.
1) She lived to tell about it. 2) It didn’t work. 3) She doesn’t recommend it.
