Description
Chernobyl 1986. Those left behind must fight to survive.
The world is coming to an end. Dragged from her bed in the middle of the night and forced to leave her beloved puppy behind, Natasha has no idea if she’ll ever return home.
Growing up in the shadow of the ruined nuclear power plant, pups Misha and Bratan need to learn how to live wild - and fast. Creatures with sharp teeth, scythe-like claws and yellow eyes lurk in the overgrown woods. And they’re watching the brothers…
But will the dogs survive without humans? And can humans live without them?
A devastating tale of courage, companionship and hope from the Carnegie award-winning author of Lark.
Advance Praise
‘This book! It broke my heart and then splinted it back together again. Full of hope and love and wildness... Imagine Watership Down meets The Animals of Farthing Wood but fiercer.’
Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
‘Steeped in Richard Adams’ Plague Dogs and Watership Down, yet wearing all the hallmarks of Barry Hines at his finest, Dogs of the Deadlands is a wonderful thing. It moved me and stayed with me for an awfully long time.’
Phil Earle, author of When the Sky Falls
‘I was completely blown away by this brilliant, beautiful story. I was propelled back to reading Watership Down as an eight year old – this gave me that same feeling of having been indelibly changed by a story. It's a rare and special thing for a book to do.’
Catherine Bruton, author of No Ballet Shoes in Syria

Sarah J, Reviewer
This book is set for big things.
I have just finished reading and I am genuinely blown away!
As a child my favourite book series was the famous “Animals of Farthing Wood” and this genuinely caught me out in the same way.
Just amazing.
Some heart ache, some tragedy, a death defying struggle and some happiness.
I hope I am right and this book gets the publicity it deserves, as this is a book that millions need to read and enjoy.
Thank you so much for letting me read an early copy, I feel so privileged and will definitely be looking to purchase this once it is released for my own collection.
Thank you 10/10
