Reviews
“Like other great children’s books which also entrance adults, Wolf Brother conjures up an utterly believable, yet original world where the story grips you to the very last page.”
SIR IAN MCKELLEN
“WOLF BROTHER gripped me from the very first page. It has the three qualities of a classic children’s book. Attractive characters. Relentless pace. And superb writing. Added to which, it explores a world that was virtually unknown to us with real insight and authority. This really is a book that stands out from the crowd.”
ANTHONY HOROWITZ, AUTHOR
“The kind of story you dream of reading and all too rarely find…The descriptions of an ancient world are wonderful. The vivid prose leaps off the page.”
AMANDA CRAIG, THE TIMES
Michelle's Notes
“Getting the idea for WOLF BROTHER was a bit like having an unplanned child: very welcome, but decidedly inconvenient. I was still writing the Jamaican trilogy, but once Wolf had got hold of me, he wouldn’t let go. Somehow, I had to find a way of finishing WOLF BROTHER, making a start on SPIRIT WALKER, AND writing THE SERPENT’S TOOTH. I promised myself that I would never again write two books in one year.”

A brilliant read, it’s filled with mystery and a story that no-one could ever even begin to imagine..
A fantastic book to take you back in time to a mysterious world, where beasts rome the land and forest hunters kill. Its so fantastic that you can begin to imagine life as torak. Magic.

If you are reading this, stop reading this, and read the book instead!
One of my favorite books, i was choosing a book off a shelf and the front cover caught my eye, i picked it up and started reading and finished all but two of the books since someone checked them out and never gave them back.
This series is the one that got me reading and I absolutely LOVE it! If you don’t read books then this won’t let you stop reading them! It opens up your eyes to a whole new world and i guarantee that you will never think of a book the same way again!
A great read. Wonderful action, exciting book. My 11-year old is reading this for school. Teacher seems a bit off in his intepretation. Wants her to relate the story to modern day. For example, bear represents mankind. Anyone have a similar ideas or thoughts about what the characters could mean to our 21st century life?
The book is good enough to read may times more after you read it the first time, a great start to the series and to think I’ve had it for more than 5 years!
wolf brother is awsome i got it and the fourth book of it named OUTCAST.i read the whole book of wolf brother in about 3 days and OUTCAST?well even though there is like 387 pages i read it in two or three days.
Words cannot begin to describe how heart-wrenching this book is! When I found out what ‘The Listener gives his heart’s blood to the Mountain…’ meant, I cried and I will do so when I finish all of the books.
An amazing series. I can not describe just how good it is. Truly insparational
