The Breath Taking New Novel from Award-Winning Author Kevin Brooks “Dogchild” is a breathtaking tale of a boy raised by wolves and given a chance at a human life. In this heart-pounding read, the half human/half canine Jeet struggles to fit in between the lines of both worlds. His devotion to the group he has been raised with grows more and more urgent as they try to fend off a much stronger rival clan that threatens to take over their land. Not only does Jeet have to prepare for their upcoming battle but also solve his own personal problem — has he still earned his right to exist among the human beings at the edge of Existence.
Inspired by the true life experiences of Kevin Brooks' father, “a part-time sheep shepherd with a scientific background and a sixth sense for danger”, Dogchild is a story of challenges, triumph, loss and what life is truly worth living for, and these principles endure.

THE BREATHTAKING NEW NOVEL FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR KEVIN BROOKSJeet was raised by a pack of wild dogs. Recaptured and ‘rehumanised’, Jeet now lives with the last of his people in an ancient walled town in the vast expanse of the Deathlands, besieged by a much larger enemy clan. They are preparing for the final battle and it’s Jeet’s task to record the events. But Jeet is struggling to come to terms with his half-human, half-dog identity. Can the impending conflict, and his relationship with another rehumanised dogchild, shed any light on what it takes to be a survivor?
