Where the World Turns Wild plays on one of my biggest fears about the future – a world without nature. Juniper and her little brother Bear live in a walled city where nature has been almost completely eradicated following the outbreak of a disease. What remains is a tightly controlled and terrifying society that they must escape.

This is an adventure story like no other and one I have returned to time and again.

From Tamsin's list on strong female protagonists.
