A boy overcomes his fear of water and connects with nature in this powerful novel of transformation
Thirteen-year-old Niilo's unruly behaviour means his loving parents sent him to Wild School, a young offender's unit on an island in the Finnish archipelago. Angry at first, eventually he comes to enjoy being there and builds a close relationship with his mentor, Hannu, who helps him face his demons and overcome his lifelong fear of water. But when Niilo hears Hannu is leaving, he is so upset he decides to run away. Escaping is one thing, but living alone in the wild is completely different and it tests Niilo to the utmost, especially as his fear of water still haunts him.
With the help of a seal, Hannu eventually finds Niilo, but on the way back to Wild School Niilo is thrown into the water and experiences a revelation that will change his life for the better.
Book Description
A boy overcomes his fear of water and connects with nature in this powerful novel of transformation
From the Back Cover
NIILO IS ANGRY.
AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY.
He's angry at his parents, his brother, his teachers . . . in fact he's angry at everyone and everything.
Only one thing scares him and that's the sea. So when Niilo is sent away to a 'wild school' on a tiny island outside Helsinki, in an attempt to curb his unruly behaviour, it's his worst nightmare.
But there he learns to swim, to trust another human being and overcome his fear. Niilo's newfound skill seems to offer an escape route from the island, but escaping his past and his anger isn't so straightforward.
Wild Song explores the healing power of friendship, nature and a need for the truth, no matter how much it hurts.
