The Wolf Wilder, about a girl and her mother who teach tamed wolves how to be wild in the forests of Russia, followed, written while she completed a master’s that focused on palaeography, forgery and John Donne. Her PhD was on “Renaissance literature more broadly, how Donne interacted with it, how people who came after Donne forged and imitated and alluded to and were inspired by his work”. A mysterious map, found by chance, charts their course, leading them to a ruined city of secrets, where they soon discover that they were never alone out there in the jungle; someone has been watching them, and it’s only a matter of time until their paths cross.

Auf "Mitten im Dschungel" war ich schon sehr gespannt, da ich Survivalszenarien schon immer sehr gern gemocht habe. Hier habe ich mir eine Geschichte voller Abenteuer gewünscht und diese auch bekommen, sodass mir das Buch gut gefallen hat. The Good Thieves. Illustrated by Matt Saunders. Bloomsbury Children's Books. 13 June 2019. ISBN 978-1408854891. {{ cite book}}: CS1 maint: others ( link) My class all loved the character Con. One of my children liked how he hated Con at the beginning and warmed up to her, to the point at which she is now his favourite character. My class found Max revolting, and it was particularly enjoyable watching them all squirm. Themes Rooftoppers. Illustrated by Terry Fan. Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 24 September 2013.

Presenter: John Wilson (broadcaster) Producer: Hilary Dunn (3 January 2018). "Neil Cross, Katherine Rundell, Book prize judging". Front Row. 11:55 minutes in. BBC. BBC Radio 4 . Retrieved 3 January 2018. The children, and other characters, drink, smoke, steal and tattoo themselves with knives. This is all dealt with quite tactfully, as would be expected from a children’s book, but it does mean the book is more suited to the far end of upper primary school and beyond. At its heart, this story was one of human connection and how even in the hardest of times people can get through with teamwork and helping each other out. Some of the characters were difficult to connect to at first which is perhaps why my rating didn't come out as higher however I would like to draw attention to how Rundell masterfully displayed character growth and by the end of this book, I was enchanted by each and every character.

Şimdiye kadar üzmedi de gerçekten. Hâlâ daha en sevdiğim ilk kitabı olan Gökyüzü Çocukları ama Kâşif de ikinci sıraya yerleşti diyebilirim. İlk başlarda “Eyvah! Sanırım Sinekler Tanrısı’na bağlayacak bu” diye düşündüğümü itiraf edeyim ama devamında öyle olmadığını kanıtladı. Çocuklara sorunlarla başa çıkabileceklerini, doğayı sevmeyi ve keşfetmenin heyecanlı bir şey olduğunu öğretecek bir kitap bence Kâşif.
