Summary

‘Mitchell is well aware of what will make kids laugh. An observant and captivatingly funny story’ 
Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week 
A hilarious adventure for readers aged 9+ from the author of Escape from Camp Boring. When Things Went Wild is also a timely call to protect our environment. 
When Kit’s family move to a crumbling house in the Scottish Highlands, he’s got a lot to deal with – terrible Wi-Fi, a new school in the middle of nowhere, and, as always, his annoying little brother, Jack. But it’s not until the brothers find a strange object on the moors that Kit’s problems really begin. 
A policewoman comes knocking, and the boys learn that they have found a tracker that has been removed from the leg of a golden eagle. The illegal killing of these majestic birds is all too common, and now a pair of nesting eagles are under threat. Kit and Jack start to investigate, soon joined by Tamora – the most popular girl in school – and her younger sister, Bea. 
Who is trying to harm the eagles, and why? Chief suspects are landowner Lord Cavendish, local farmer McNab and sinister game keeper Mosby . . . Can the city kids cope with the country – and catch the culprit? 
Tom Mitchell, the Sunday Times bestselling author, once again proves his knack for creating captivating stories for young adults. When Things Went Wild is a testament to his ability to blend humour, action, and a strong message about nature conservation in a way that resonates with the teenage audience. 
For fans of Danny Wallace (The Boss of Everyone), Elisa Paganelli (Danger at Dead Man's Pass), Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss), Maz Evans (Beyond the Odyssey), and Robin Stevens (Death Sets Sail).
