en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 aug 2015 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
A girl and the wolves who love her embark on a rescue mission through Russian wilderness in this lyrical tale from the author of the acclaimed "Rooftoppers "and "Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms."
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.
From the author of "Rooftoppers," which "Booklist "called a glorious adventure, and "Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms," which "VOYA "called a treasure of a book, comes an enchanting novel about love and resilience."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Go on an adventure with Katherine Rundell .From the winner of the Costa Children's Book Prize'A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination' - Philip PullmanFeodora and her mother live in the snowbound woods of Russia, in a house full of food and fireplaces. Ten minutes away, in a ruined chapel, lives a pack of wolves. Feodora's mother is a wolf wilder, and Feo is a wolf wilder in training. A wolf wilder is the opposite of an animal tamer: it is a person who teaches tamed animals to fend for themselves, and to fight and to run, and to be wary of humans.When the murderous hostility of the Russian Army threatens her very existence, Feo is left with no option but to go on the run. What follows is a story of revolution and adventure, about standing up for the things you love and fighting back. And, of course, wolves.
