his back... The family's new feathered friend helps Arthur to come

writing talent Iona Rangeley, and illustrated with wit and brio by

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 Feodora
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.
