Product details
Enter a world of woodsmoke, autumn leaves, and the fierce independence of a life lived entirely off the grid. In Katya Balen’s October, October, a 2022 Yoto Carnegie Medal winner, eleven-year-old October lives in a "perfect pocket" of the forest with her father, where the trees and stars are their only companions. But when a tragic accident on her birthday rips her away from the wild and transplants her into the "whirling chaos" of London with her estranged mother, her entire reality shatters. Written in a "heart-stoppingly beautiful" and lyrical style, this story is a vivid sensory feast that captures the sharp pain of loss and the slow, blooming wonder of transformation. It is an extraordinary tale of a girl fighting to keep her "inner wildness" alive in a concrete world, ultimately discovering that even the most broken stories can be mended into something new and beautiful.

Key Concepts
- The Conflict of Two Worlds: A deep exploration of the "clash between the wild and the city," following October as she navigates the sensory overload of London after a lifetime of woodland silence.
- Nature as Identity: The book examines what it truly means to be "wild," showing how a deep connection to the environment—whether it's a forest or the mud of the Thames—shapes who we are.
- Healing through Storytelling: A core theme where October uses "stories to control her world," finding the words to process her trauma and eventually reconcile with her parents.
- Belonging and Family Dynamics: An "immensely touching" look at different types of families, focusing on the difficulty of forgiveness and learning that parents are real people who make mistakes.
- Resilience in Transition: The story highlights the "inner turmoil and growth" that comes with forced change, teaching readers that new beginnings are possible even in the darkest, most confusing times
