Wolf Brother

Wolf Brother is by Michelle Paver. This is first book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Series. It is the story of 12-year-old Torak who watches as his father is killed by a giant demon possessed bear. He soon takes up with a recently orphaned wolf cub with whom he is able to communicate. He races against time to solve a riddle and find three lost artifacts that will rid the ancient forest of the demon bear; all the while trying to say one step ahead of the bear who is hunting him. Paver has done excellent research into the beliefs of ancient tribes; this story is set in an ancient forest 6000 year ago. This is a thrilling fantasy story and a fun read.

Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
