Michelle Paver
A boy. A wolf. A legend for all time. The first book in the internationally bestselling Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series by renowned author Michelle Paver.

Twelve-year-old Torak sees his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, he asks his son to make him a promise. Alone, wounded, terrified and on the run, Torak must now lead the bear to the Mountain of the World Spirit – a mountain that no one has ever found before. But can Torak keep his promise?
A terrifying quest commences in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.

Reviews

The book has sad parts like when Ren and Torak almost die of frostbite, or when Torak's father dies because of the bear. Overall, it is an outstanding book I can't wait to read book two!

This is the best book I've read this summer. It is the kind of story thrilling, magical and complete page turner. I read it in one day and can't wait to read the whole series!

I think it is a very engaging but in it there are some very gruesome bit so I give it 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5. I love it so much I would really recommend it to you!

I really liked the book, it was enjoyable to read. I don't know whether it was fiction or factual. My favourite character was wolf because he was funny and he played a big part to help Torak on his journey to the mountain spirit. I would recommend it 10+.

This is a fictional book about a boy who has to survive in the wilderness alone after his father... okay that went too close to a spoiler alert! The boy's name is Torak. He is an amazing tracker and eventually finds a wolf. And well that's all I'm going to tell you. This book is sooo good. You HAVE to read it!! Stay safe at home during Covid and peace out everyone!

I found this book hard going to start with but then got into it. There is a lot of writing on each page so not so quick to get through the chapters. It was fiction. It is set thousands of years ago. I liked the wolf best. This is the first book of a series.

I liked this book because it was an adventure. I liked Wolf best because he was the guide and helped Torak. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories
