This word means different things to different people. For Ren, home is a little white house in the rainforest. His days are spent in nature where the wild brings his imagination to life. Everything is perfect...until it isn’t.
Suddenly his world is turned upside down and he finds himself living in the city. Everything is loud and fast. Ren’s head is so full from his new surroundings that there’s no room left for magic or wild.
The city is all Ava has ever known. She thrives in an environment with constant change and people moving. There is always something to do and she is never lonely because she always has someone to share it with.
Can Ava help Ren find the beauty, magic, and wild he craves in this new place?
