About The Dawn of Adonis

From the bestselling author of When the Sky Falls and Finn's Epic Fails comes the heart-wrenching story of a baby gorilla, Adonis, born into captivity, and the twelve-year-old girl who risks everything to rescue him. In 1911, before the start of World War One, London's docks thrum with underhand deals, none so great as the arrival of a valuable, rare and exotic animal - a baby silverback gorilla. The baby gorilla stands to make one man very, very rich. Heaven help anyone who gets in his way. But then one night a twelve-year-old girl is unwittingly drawn into his criminal underworld. Can she find a way to escape and rescue the baby gorilla? The hotly anticipated follow-up to the multi-award-winning story about the incredible friendship between a young boy and a silverback gorilla in the Second World War, inspired by a true story: When the Sky Falls. 'This richly atmospheric adventure . . . confirms Earle as a master of his craft' Daily Mail 'Nobody writes striking, heartfelt adventure like Phil Earle. I loved it!' Ross Montgomery 'It's a tremendous nail-biting read, tender and terrifying in equal measure' Jacqueline Wilson Praise for When the Sky Falls: 'A magnificent story' Philip Pullman 'Deeply felt, movingly written, a remarkable achievement' Michael Morpurgo Perfect for fans of War Horse, I Am Rebel and The Last Bear
