Product description

In the wild Scottish Highlands, Robbie McLeod is on the run from vicious English soldiers. As he flees, he finds another fugitive: a tiny wolf cub – and a sign that proclaims the killing of the last wolf in Scotland. Robbie knows that if the orphaned cub is found, it’ll be killed – just as he will. So he adopts it, and takes it with him. But when at last Robbie finds a place where he can finally be free, he knows in his heart that the wolf must find his own natural home too…

Michael Morpurgo

Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller, weaving captivating stories full of drama and intensity that are coming to be regarded as true classics. Exploring the most profound subjects with a light yet powerful touch, his books tell unforgettable stories in simple, direct words.

Michael Morpurgo discovered his talent for writing while working as a teacher. “We had to read the children a story every day and my lot were bored by the book I was reading. I decided I had to do something and told them the kind of story I used to tell my kids – it was like a soap opera, and they focused on it. I could see there was magic in it for them, and realised there was magic in it for me.”

Living in Devon, listening to Mozart, and working with children have provided most of the stimulae Michael needs to discover and write his stories. He spends about half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories. “For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out – the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers.”

    I didn’t like the book because I found it a little bit emotional. I did like the illustrations. This book is perfect for 7 year old on up.

    There was a lot of sadness in this book and for me, I just didn’t like it. As soon as I saw the title and saw it was about an orphan, I didn’t want to read it but my parents asked me to (more like forced me to!). I was glad I did read it as it is different from what I am used to reading.

    It is a good book, but not for me.

    Hi This book is one of a kind. I read it from my school libary and I have never forgotten about this poor orphaned wolf cub. Kim
