Advance Praise

"Savage Wild by Hope Gordon is a magical, adventurous beginning to a colorful new world!"

"Hope Gordon has created a vibrant world that I, for one, am excited to see our characters traverse as they continue their journey. Her characters are distinct and lovable, without falling into the traps of being 'perfect'. Even the adults in this book have their faults and must do their best to overcome them, offering their own apologies and compromises when it comes to working with and forming relationships with the main quartet."

"This just the type of book I would have absolutely adored as a middle-schooler and young teenager, and still find joy in today."

"It was the meticulously crafted map that won me over. Upon seeing it, I knew I was in for a treat. I appreciated how each character's personality was vividly portrayed, bringing them to life in a spectacular manner."

"Delving deeper into the book, the message that resonated with me is the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones for personal growth. It emphasizes the value of further exploration, urging me (as a reader) to embrace life fully without succumbing to fear."
