Wildlife by Fiona Wood
The Wildlife Can Be Dangerous, Feed At Your Own Risk!
When
you're a shy, naive girl in high school, gaining a little popularity is
pretty much the equivalent of throwing a lamb to the wolves; the only
thing worse is having a best friend who is really a wolf in sheep's
clothing. For Sibylla this is exactly what happens, but maybe if she can
discover herself in time she may escape being eaten alive.
Being
the new student is like being a fish out of water, you instantly don't
belong, no one seems to want you and your very existence is a fight for
survival. For Lou surviving a new school is nothing, she doesn't care
about belonging, she doesn't care about being wanted, it is only life
she is fighting to survive, only her grief she is struggling to breath
through.
Wildlife is not about surviving the animals
of the wilderness but the wildness in your fellow students. For these
year 10 students, spending fourth term at Mt Fairweather, Crowthorne
Grammar's outdoor educational campus, is more then an education on
becoming self-sufficient, it is a lesson in becoming self-aware, of
growing up and making discoveries on life, love and acceptance of
ones-self.Price (AU): $16.99
