Book Description:
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.

Review by Janine 
This is the story of Torak, a young boy recently orphaned, and his unusual bond with a wolf cub. Set thousands of years ago in an ancient land, boy and wolf embark on a dangerous quest in search of the demon bear, the same bear that killed Torak's father.

Wolf Brother is the first volume of the ‘Chronicles of Darkness’ series and is followed up with Spirit Walker. It is full of excitement and adventure with a wonderful emphasis on the true meaning of friendship.

I would recommend this for ages 10 right through to adult and for anyone who just loves a great story. A brilliant book.
