What to expect
A thought-provoking and touching story of the bond between children and nature, from renowned storyteller and award-winning author Gill Lewis.
Izzy and Asha need a space to call their own, away from difficult families, the Skull brothers and the trouble they bring. But the derelict building site where they stake their claim already belongs to something else, a wilderness they never expected and an injured wolf that desperately needs their help. Can they reconnect to the wild and save the wolf? Or is their pack too weak to fight much stronger powers?
A stunning tale of our lost connection to nature and the wild that hides in us all, from renowned storyteller Gill Lewis.
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
