Run Wild - Author Gill Lewis

A wolf, a wasteland, and a fight to protect what matters most.

Izzy and Asha just want a place of their own — somewhere to skate, escape trouble at home, and stay clear of the Skull brothers. When they stumble upon the abandoned gasworks, it feels like freedom. But hidden among the rubble is something unexpected: a stretch of wild land and an injured wolf in desperate need of help.

In this gripping and emotional adventure, two girls must discover the power of connection — with nature, each other, and the wild within.

Why we, and schools, like it:

• Features strong female characters and powerful themes of empathy and resilience
• Encourages environmental awareness and animal care
• Written in a dyslexia-friendly format that boosts accessibility
