A rescue mission in the Russian wilderness

When her mother is taken captive, that work becomes part of a perilous journey through snowy woods, with Feo relying on the wolves she has cared for. The premise brings animal care and survival together with a child’s effort to reach and rescue a parent, against a setting shaped by cold wilderness and conflict over the wolves’ freedom.

Book overview

Three starred reviews!

"Fairy tale and history merge seamlessly" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in this lyrical middle grade novel about a girl and the wolves who love her embarking on a rescue mission through Russian wilderness from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impossible Creatures, Katherine Rundell.

Feo's life is extraordinary. Her mother trains domesticated wolves to be able to fend for themselves in the snowy wilderness of Russia, and Feo is following in her footsteps to become a wolf wilder. She loves taking care of the wolves, especially the three who stay at the house because they refuse to leave Feo, even though they've already been wilded.

But not everyone is enamored with the wolves, or with the fact that Feo and her mother are turning them wild. And when her mother is taken captive, Feo must travel through the cold, harsh woods to save her--and learn from her wolves how to survive.
