"Kester Jaynes hasn't spoken a single word in the six years since his mum died and he was sent to Spectrum Hall Academy for Challenging Children. But when a cockroach asks him for help, Kester discovers that he can communicate silently with animals. Though most animals have been wiped out by the deadly red-eye virus, the cockroaches introduce Kester to a small group of wild survivors who convince him to defy his corporate-controlled society and take on a quest to save the last animals on Earth. If you like the offbeat tone of Roald Dahl's books or the heroic (but not-so-cuddly) animal characters of Suzanne Collins' Underland Chronicles, you should definitely pick up The Last Wild."
