I am clearly a bit old for the age of the book (F 22), but regardless believe this to be a very compelling and interesting start to a much larger story - capturing the confusion apparent with the sudden onset of war, and offering a beautiful found family dynamic between a girl and dogs/eagle. I will aim to read the rest of this series and highly recommend this to anybody. 

Really fun writing and great illustrations

My three sons aged 9, 7 and 4 loved this book.

9 year old: It’s a good book. I loved all the characters. Sunrise and Nosey were my favourites.

7 year old: This is an awesome book. My favourite characters are Tiny and Eagle. I liked Tiny because he is small and I liked Eagle because she was very smart and brave.

4 year old: This is a fantastic book. Sunrise and Tiny are my favourite characters. I like Sunrise because she keeps the girl protected.

We can’t wait for book 2!

If you are looking for a great read for a primary school-aged child then look no further. Wolf Girl is a brilliant story about a young girl, Gwen, who is separated from her family during a panicked evacuation from her home. Now scared and alone, she is forced to find her way amongst the thick forest when disasters strikes and a pack of adorable dogs rescue her and quickly become her newfound family. The story unfolds in a heartwarming and fun way as Gwen and her pack set off to find her missing family while attempting to survive in the wilderness together.

Wolf Girl is a story filled with love, loyalty, bravery, and friendship. I was instantly drawn into the story and couldn’t put it down until I found out what would happen next. Paired with stunning illustrations, Wolf Girl is a delightful and easy read that will entertain and captured the imagination of young readers. If you enjoyed Tomorrow When the War Began and animal adventure stories like Milo & Otis then this is a perfect read!
