About this listen

Twelve-year-old Kester thought he had discovered the last wild animals in the land. He thought his adventure was over. He was wrong. Below the sparkling city of Premium, deep underground, a dark wild remains: Animals who believe the time is right to rise up against their human enemies. And soon Kester realises: He is the only one who can stop them. Kester Jaynes saved the animals. Can he save the humans too?

Exciting tale, Oliver j hembrough is an amazing narrator. His voice could calm me down if I was angry or cross. All I have to say is that it's sad that the wolf cub has to grow up! Best listen to the first book in the series, the last wild, first to understand want happened. If you haven't you would probably pick it up as you go along. Recommended for 9+.

EPIC
