Books like The Wild beyond by Piers Torday
Kester, a brave boy, has already rescued the last wild animals of the planet and protected his capital city from ruin. Yet his most formidable challenge has yet to arrive. A solitary blue whale from the ocean far beyond the city brings urgent news. From the four towering structures, a mysterious steel dome curls up into the sky, threatening to change the world. In the outskirts, a small but fearless mouse may hold the secret that determines the world’s future. Together with the animals he cherishes, Kester must confront new foes and protect life and hope.
The story is an adventurous celebration of human‑animal communication and the courage of youth, offering excitement, wonder, and a message about displacing and preserving nature.
