I can't even choose which character I loved more, they were all so kind hearted and brave and everyone had something that just made you love them. But of course Feo was a great main character with her naive, but brave point of view and Ilya who became such a good friend to Feo, even if they didn't met in good circumstances. He’s blind in one eye because of me. But he’s always been blind: He doesn’t see the facts. The fact that there are more than us than there are of him. The fact that fire in your soul beats fire on the ground. The fact that love always beats fear. And the fact that it helps to have wolves on your side.

Reading together doesn’t have to stop once your children can read for themselves – it’s still fun to read aloud to older children!Here are great stories to share with 8-12s that you’ll love, too...

Although I think the plot was at times a little odd, the magicalness of the writing made up for that and kept me gripped to the story. Society" wolves could always beg, hold out a paw, lie still. Often - it made Feo want to cry - they could dance on their hind legs, their faces blank.

The two soldiers dropped the elk on the rug. The sitting room was small, and the two young men were large and mustached. Their mustaches seemed to take up most of the room. This is a thrilling, emotional and utterly enthralling story (perhaps my favourite in recent years) and is the perfect read for children aged 9-11. Ultimately, it comes down to how you like your wolves; fairytale beast stalking childhood nightmares, or innocent yet wise savage. This latter variety is a powerfully Romantic icon, a symbol of some Edenic past, speaking to us of something unnameable that we have lost. This wolf says, “I know something you’ve forgotten.” And that’s a pretty seductive story. Be the one of the first to read the stunning first chapter from The Wolf Wilder, the brand new book by the author of multi-award winning Rooftoppers here. The Wolf Wilder comes out in September 2015. Feo loves her quiet, fulfilling existence, but the world outside is cruel and dangerous. The Russian army are laying waste to the surrounding areas, spreading corruption, greed and fear throughout the land.This is book is so awesome. It is super adventurous and thrilling and magical. most amazing book I have ever read. I will suggest this to a friend. The Wolf Wilder is an amazing book and it's so tempting that makes you just want to read on and finish the book! The Wolf Wilder is an amazing book. It has a creative and original plot and I totally agree with every professional review.The idea is totally original but surprisingly simple. My one complaint is that the plot line is foreseeable and has no major twist (I would give it a 4.5 if that was possible). despite this it is really quite a gripping book. The young men laughed. Rakov did not join in: He only stared at them until they turned red and fell silent. He crossed to Feo’s mother, studied the mark on her cheek. He leaned forward until the tip of his nose was touching her skin, and sniffed. Marina stood motionless, her lips bitten shut. Then Rakov grunted and threw the lamp at the ceiling.

It took Feo ten minutes to ski to the ruins of the stone chapel. At the entrance hall were three dilapidated statues of saints: They had no heads, and two of them had grown a scaly skin of green lichen. Even without heads, the saints managed to look unimpressed by this state of affairs. Only two and a half of the chapel walls were still standing, and the roof had long ago crumbled onto the mosaic floor below. There were pews, half eaten away by woodworm, and a marble miniature of the Virgin, which Feo had cleaned with the chewed end of a twig. If the light was right in the chapel, and if you looked closely, you could see that the walls had once been painted with gold figures. It was, Feo thought, the most beautiful place on earth.i wish the non-russian readers could feel the fullness of her grief because as for me it's an important detail I really like how the author, Kathrerine Rundell, ended the story, it made me so happy for the characters, however It was quite sad but I liked that.
