Book Description
An enthralling story for younger readers, from double award winning author, Susan Price. A bad summer, and the crops didn't grow. Now winter is coming. Everyone is hungry. People search desperately for the last of the nettles and acorns. Elka and her little brother Daw huddle under their blankets, trying to keep warm. Elka is too hungry to sleep. Awake in the dark, she overhears her parents whispering. "I don't want to watch them starve. Take them into the wood and leave them. Take them far in, so they won't find their way back, and leave them." The next day their father takes them into the wood, to look for mushrooms. Daw goes along innocently, holding his father's hand. Elka follows because she doesn't want Daw to be alone. The light fades. Their father vanishes into the darkness among the trees. He doesn't come back. And then come the wolves... Where do these lost children belong - in the village with the people who left them to starve? Or, in the wood, with the wolves? REVIEWS 'No one writes this kind of dark tale better than Price... brilliantly reworks folk themes... an atmospheric and poignant story. Not a word is wasted.' Books For Keeps. 'This is a powerful piece of writing - a folk tale where difficult issues are confronted, no compromises allowed and no happy ending guaranteed. There's no escaping the anger of the little girl who decides to leave the world of her parents and remain with the pack of wolves who looked after her - nor the loneliness of the brother who pines for her at the edge of the forest. This is a classic.' Carousel. Because of the continued demand for this book from schools and parents, it has been republished by the author, with new illustrations by Andrew Price. Susan Price is an acclaimed, prize-winning author who won the Carnegie Medal in 1987 with Ghost Drum and the 1998 Guardian Children's Fiction Award for The Sterkarm Handshake. She wrote her first book aged 16 and became a full time writer aged 22. She now has over twenty children's novels to her name and has been described as 'one of the best contemporary writers for children' by Susan Hill in the Daily Telegraph.

Book Description
In the darkness, a shadow moved, and something green glinted in a patch of moonlight. Another shadow drifted among the trees... Green eyes and grey shadows, all about them, watching... Abandoned in the forest by parents who can no longer afford to feed them, Daw and Elke are full of fear as night falls and animals surround them. But, instead of attacking, the circling wolves offer them a chance to join the pack - just one drink from the water pooling in a wolf's footprint will transform them...
