About the book

Upon reading Wolf Brother you are immediately immersed into a world of fantasy and adventure, yet within our distant past. The 'Old World' civilization which Wolf Brother is set in encapsulates the clan traditions and animal worship chosen by forest-dwelling peoples. Paver keeps the reader transfixed as Torak, aged only twelve, is thrust into a terrifying and difficult world, as the death of his Fa leaves him to survive on his own. He meets an animal friend and other clan members on the way to achieving his ultimate goal. Highly worth a read, and if you enjoy it there are several follow-up books in the series.

Subjects: Bears, Juvenile fiction, Prehistoric peoples, Fiction, Voyages and travels, Wolves
