About the Book:

In Rory Power‘s gripping novel Wilder Girls, the Raxter School for Girls has been under quarantine for eighteen months due to the Tox, a mysterious and deadly disease that twists the girls’ bodies and the environment around them. Hetty, one of the students, has seen her life upended by the Tox. First, the teachers died, then it began infecting the students, leaving them with strange and foreign deformities. Cut off from the rest of the world, the girls are left to fend for themselves on their isolated island, surrounded by a wild and dangerous forest infected by the Tox.

The girls are promised a cure, but as they wait, the Tox continues to seep into everything. When Hetty’s best friend, Byatt, goes missing, Hetty is determined to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and facing the horrors lurking beyond the school’s fence. What she discovers is a truth about their life at Raxter and the secrets hidden within the island that she could never have imagined.

Wilder Girls is a haunting and suspenseful tale of survival, friendship, and the lengths one will go to uncover the truth.
