Go on an adventure with Katherine Rundell...From the winner of the Costa Children's Book Prize'A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination'-Philip Pullman'Read everything she writes'-Daily MailFeodora and her mother live in the snowbound woods of Russia, in a house full of food and fireplaces. Ten minutes away, in a ruined chapel, lives a pack of wolves. Feodora's mother is a wolf wilder, and Feo is a wolf wilder in training. A wolf wilder is the opposite of an animal tamer: it is a person who teaches tamed animals to fend for themselves, and to fight and to run, and to be wary of humans.When the murderous hostility of the Russian Army threatens her very existence, Feo is left with no option but to go on the run. What follows is a story of revolution and adventure, about standing up for the things you love and fighting back. And, of course, wolves.

Recenzii

Rundell is an astonishing young talent and her books combine old-fashioned, edge-of-your-seat adventure with richly imagined characters...Read everything she writes
The Wolf Wilderhas everything: it's a truly compelling read; it's beautifully written; it's totally original and yet has the familiar feel of an established classic
The most exciting new children's novel for a decade . [Rundell] is a master storyteller in the Philip Pullman category
Wolves, snow and a heroine worthy of comparison to Lyra Belacqua. It's no mean feat to follow a novel as lauded asRooftoppers, but Rundell has done it in great style
This is glorious. A haunting, fast-paced snowy adventure with another superb gutsy heroine told in Rundell's beautiful and witty style
The Wolf Wilderis the kind of novel that reminds you why books are worth reading and life is worth living
The Wolf Wilderis Katherine Rundell's best book yet - precise, magical and wise - it's a story that will stay with you for a long time after you've read it. I absolutely loved it
A gorgeous flight of imagination set in a snowy Russian fantasy world, this has both the beauty and the fierce, funny and uncompromising storytelling style that sets Katherine Rundell's books apart.The Wolf Wilderis a Fabergé egg of a novel - rich, bright and perfect
Just finished [the] sparkling, biting, deep-furred, snow-layered, paintbox brightThe Wolf Wilder. Absolutely loved it. Gorgeous
Come for the magical storytelling, stay for the breathtaking prose: a new Katherine Rundell novel is always a cause for celebration.The Wolf Wilderis, in a word, extraordinary
The hero of Katherine Rundell's new book may be young and small, but Feo has a spirit as wild and dauntless as that of the wolves she cares for. I don't know whether this irresistible force of nature and the colourful gang of waifs drawn to her had an actual hand in starting the Russian Revolution, but Rundell convinced me that they did.The Wolf Wilderis chilling (quite literally!) and thrilling from start to finish
Rundell is an astonishing young talent and her books combine old-fashioned, edge-of-your-seat adventure with richly imagined characters...Read everything she writes
