So Dusty sets off to find her EUR| 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?
