The Wolf's Curse by Jessica Vitalis
4.0
A big-hearted, truly captivating middle-grade fantasy tale about Gauge, an orphan boy who cried wolf and was shunned by his superstitious village when they think he's in league with the wolf who comes for people when they die. Determined to clear his reputation, Gauge befriends Roux, a fellow orphan and the two embark on a quest to find the wolf and clear his name, not knowing that the wolf is seeking him out for a reason of her own.
This story was great on audio and was told from the perspective of the wolf, who happens to be female, and was a twist from the traditional that I really enjoyed. Dealing with grief, loss and friendship, this debut was thoroughly entertaining and gave me a lot of Under the whispering door vibes. I look forward to reading what this author writes next!
