Synopsis

Let me read the blurb to you (youtube)
His name was Runt and he lived in the kennels.He was a slave, owned by a violent criminal, on an island facing environmental disaster. But he didn’t know any of that. And Runt had a secret. But he didn’t know that yet, either.One day Runt escapes and finds a new home in the Wilds beyond the city. Piece by piece, he uncovers the dangers threatening Demon’s Land. Is there enough time to save his world?Runt is a YA fantasy novel with a peculiarly Australian flavour. The fantasy creatures populating the Wilds are gradually revealed to be Australia's extinct megafauna. The island nation, Demon’s Land, is in turmoil due to the impact of colonialism upsetting the delicate environmental balance.While predominantly a fantasy novel, Runt contains important scientific principles, and can also thus be read as science fiction. Biological symbiosis, environmental tipping points, and the beauty and mystery of nature are explored in this, Johnny Flint's first of three novels narrating the Tales from Demon's Land.
