Wolf Brother: Book 1
Michelle Paver
Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world. Only one boy can stop it – 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak’s father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit’s help to overcome it. Torak is an unwilling hero. He is scared and trusts no one. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human. Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.

Long but every chapter was a cliffhanger

It was really wholesome to see the father in son connection and also with wolf because at first in Torak's eyes wolf was an enemy but now he's like a sibling

I really liked this book, my favourite characters/ parts of the story were Wolf, Fin-Kedinn, the demon bear and the 5 Soul Eaters. I did like Torak and Renn but they weren't my favourite. I would recommend it to friends and I'd like to read the next book in the Chronicles if Ancient Darkness

So good. I really loved this book. I think that my favourite character was Renn or maybe Wolf. I thought it really interesting. It made me wonder about how people from six thousand years ago thought about life and death and how they treated it.

I liked Torak best. I recommend it for over 5 year olds. It is adventurous.

This is the best book! In a forest in the ancient times Torak's father lays dead after being killed by a bear. The bear is called Demon Bear as it is so fierce that most clans from the forest think it is possed by a demon. Torak is getting his father ready for the death journey when he is forced into promising an oath to go to the mountain of All Spirit. On the way he meets a wolf cub, Wolf that he can speak to. A spellbinding dark adventure and a magical glimpse into the ancient world.

I loved reading this book and while reading it, I felt as if I was in the same world as the characters in the story were, like I was part of their adventure to get to the reach the mountain and was watching and understanding their every move. My favourite character Wolf Brother was definitely Renn (a girl from Raven clan) because in the story I felt as if she knew her place and what she should do to bring the best for her own clan but when she, Torak and Wolf faced some of the challenges on the way to the mountain, she made different decisions, even if in the end it wouldn’t make any positive impact on her clan.She even sacrificed things to help Torak escape and to succeed and carry on with their adventure. If there is anyone looking for a good, entertaining and action-packed book to read this holiday or during any time of the year, Wolf Brother and the rest of the series is definitely 100% one to read.

A realistic story with a compelling storyline.

I loved this especially the special teaser of the next book at the end. My favourite character is Renn.

I really enjoyed this book because it tells a story set before the ice age. The two main characters are Torak and Wolf who are pack brothers despite the fact that Torak is a boy. Torak is really brave and daring.
Countess Flopsy Lavalamp 09.08.2022
It was a really good book and I would definitely recommend this to all ages. It’s fiction and tells you about what the Stone Age did to survive. My favorite character was Torak and I like how the author wrote in Torak’s perspective then in Wolf’s because then it makes it more interesting. Torak’s father dies so then he’s on his own and there are a lot of things that his father never told him about that later appear when he gets captured by the Raven Clan.

Torak Because I like reading scary stories, I'd recommend this because it long and interesting.

An amazing book generally aimed for kids around 9 or 10 but enjoyable for kids of other ages.
Senorita Cynthia Bonsai 22.07.2022
I thought of it as a adventurous book.I liked the wolf because it was always beside his friend Torak. It interested me because it was really mysterious and about him losing his dad by a great big bear.I would recommend it to my parent because they like mystery books.
