Synopsis

It’s 2045 and the world is full of tech. Eddie has a bot in his ear giving him advice all day, and classroom bots keeping track of him at school. The streets are full of bird-drones, and gametech is amazing.

But tech can’t help the police find a missing boy called Theo. When they abandon the search, Eddie and his friends sneak out to look for clues. What they find doesn’t seem to make sense.

Then strange things start happening to Eddie. He’s never been sporty but suddenly he’s a brilliant runner. He has excellent night vision-and there are hair-like feathers growing out of his skin.

It’s exciting. And it’s terrifying.

But does the strangeness have anything to do with Theo’s disappearance? And could it help Eddie find the missing boy?

The Wild Unknown is a gripping adventure set in a near-future world, where the truth can be difficult to find and where real friends will always be better than the smartest tech.
