Where can you live wild and be free?

Hugo is fourteen, fed up with foster homes, sick of school and bored of the adult world. He longs to run free, to find adventure and live his own life.

So he climbs out the bathroom window - and runs, taking nothing but the clothes he's wearing, a book he hasn't read yet and barely enough cash to get to the heart of the city. But he can't live wild in London - not with gang wars tearing the place apart, police looking for runaways, and the adult world closing in at every turn.

To find his freedom, Hugo keeps running, facing up to dangers, traps and tragedies - and learning along the way what it takes to live free.

A tale of adventure, survival, coming of age and young love told by a young man with an open heart, a tough attitude and a resolute will.

A 'man against nature' story for readers of all ages - and a young adult adventure in the tradition of Gary Paulson, John Green and Scott Westerfeld.
