Review:

Wolf is an outstanding achievement. (TES)

The book is alive and real, and keeps [children] turning the pages till the end, and keeps them thinking about the story long after the book is finished. (Books for Keeps)

Richly imaginative (Mail on Sunday)

Cross subtly intertwines complex themes while building up characterisation, balancing the real-life horror of terrorism with pragmatism and mysticism. (Time Out)

Beautifully written, rich in imagery and clever in construction. (Children's Books Ireland)

This is a splendid, daring book. (School Librarian)

A thrilling adventure story (She magazine)

A really haunting novel from Gillian Cross. (The Guardian)

Book Description:

Mystery, emotion and adventure, from the winner of the Carnegie Medal
