Wolf Brother
by Michelle Paver
Six thousand years ago, a boy whose father is killed by a demon bear sets out with an orphaned wolf cub to find the mountain of the World Spirit.
A story about children and animals, adventurous and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- A death or grief
- Mild peril
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
