Out Today: "Wild" by Sam Usher (Templar Publishing)

Sam Usher's gentle storytelling makes his books a complete draw, but what we love about the books written as a series about a young boy and his grandad is the beautiful cross-generational relationship depicted so wonderfully in his book series.

"Wild" is the second in Sam's new quartet of books about the world around us - featuring Grandad and Boy (who previously explored the seasons together in Sam's awesome books paying homage to spring, summer, autumn and winter).

This time Grandad and Boy look after a cat for a friend. 

Boy does lots of reading up about what cats like, but the cat is having none of it (cats being the naturally cantankerous and uncooperative creatures that they are!)

And then it runs off into the wild, leading Grandad and Boy into a wild jungle fantasy adventure of their own.

Imaginative, brilliant storytelling from a superb talent. 

"Wild" by Sam Usher is out today, published by Templar Publishing (kindly supplied for review).
