Piers Torday has just been awarded the Guardian Children's Book Award for 'The Dark Wild', his sequel to 'The Last Wild'. Gillian Cross said 'it was a fantastic example of how a book for children can be serious without preaching...a sober parable about our attitude to the natural world'. This dystopian story is all about how if we don't respect wildlife then wildlife won't respect us.
