YOUNG READER REVIEW: 

This is a wartime book I would recommend for ages 11-14. It had a truly exciting plot with great characters, and kept my interest throughout the whole book. With a heart-breaking, yet magical, end, I can say that this is one of my new favourite books! Rating: 5/5. By: Theo (age 12).

Description

War is raging.

And one angry boy has been sent to the city, where bombers rule the skies. There, Joseph will live with Mrs F, a gruff woman with no fondness for children. Her only loves are the rundown zoo she owns and its mighty silverback gorilla, Adonis.

As the weeks pass, bonds deepen and secrets are revealed, but if the bombers set Adonis rampaging free, will either of them be able to end the life of the one thing they truly love? Inspired by a true story.
