Review:
Katherine Rundell's The Girl Savage ... sees wild haired tomboy Will silver transplanted by a wicked stepmother from a carefree home in rural Zimbabwe to a posh London boarding school. The two sides of her coin are nicely polished: Africa with its laughter-filled hours of bareback horseriding and falling out of mango trees; schools with its strange customs of having to do maths and eat with cutlery. --Phil Hogan, Observer
With a compelling main character in Will, this charming story is about, friendship, hope and the wildness that lives in us all. --TBK Mag
Incredible first novel set in Zimbabwe ... This is a beautiful elegy for Africa that is highly recommended for older children. --ABC Magazine
