About the book
Katherine Rundell's children's novel follows twelve-year-old Wilhelmina Silver, who lives half-wild on a farm in Zimbabwe with her best friend, her horse and her monkey until the farm is sold and she is sent to boarding school in England, where packs of schoolgirls prove harder to face than lions and hyenas.
Barack Obama was reported to have picked it up on a November 2014 visit with his daughters to Politics and Prose, an independent bookstore in Washington, D.C.
