Julius lives in Ondo, a Nigerian state where half the population lives on less than a dollar a day. But he isn't one of them. His uncle has been state governor for more than a decade and his mother is the power behind that throne. He finds refuge in a derelict zoo with best friend Duke, but as the two of them grow close, the world outside becomes more and more hostile.

Following two teenagers living very different lives, ARCTIC ZOO is an arresting thriller about protest, sexuality, mental heath and flawed leadership, from the bestselling author of CHERUB.

Arctic Zoo is an enjoyable, highly digestible novel with a robust story that's captivating throughout. With short chapters, you can easily dive in and out, though you'll also be able to convince yourself to read just ONE MORE chapter before trying to close the book. A great read for anyone looking for a YA book that taps into some of the important topics of today, such as loneliness, hope, equality, politics and friendship * Culture Fly *
