Dusty has grown up hearing whispers about her mysterious aunt Meg, who went off to live 'out wild' and never returned. Yet Dusty's father refuses to discuss what happened - and her only clue is a photograph of her aunt as a young girl with a strange, monkey-like creature on her shoulder. But when Dusty learns that her family's beloved bushland property might be sold, she's convinced that only Meg could stop it happening. So Dusty sets off to find her ... and that's when she discovers what 'out wild' really means. The Outwilds are beguiling. Dangerous. And full of creatures Dusty half-remembers from old bedtime stories - beautiful, but deadly. Is Meg still out there? And even if she is, how will Dusty bring her home?
