Wild

Ever since his dad died, Jack has carried a heavy weight inside him, and as he spirals into trouble at school and falls in with the wrong crowd, his busy environmental anthropologist mother finally notices and suggests an unexpected trip together — one that will plunge them deep into the rainforest and force Jack to confront both his grief and a growing environmental crisis. Ele Fountain weaves themes of family loss, environmental urgency, and cultural diversity into a moving, page-turning adventure that doesn't shy away from hard emotions. This is a powerful choice for students because it explores grief and environmental responsibility together with honesty and heart, showing how healing and activism can grow from the same painful roots.
