The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell, £7.99

This is a story for nine to 99-year-olds, about bravery and wolves. Feodora and her mother live deep in the snowy woods of Russia. Although they are poor, they have everything they could need.

Feodora's mother is a wolf wilder and her daughter, Feo, a wilder in training. They spend their days rewilding wolves, teaching tame animals how to hunt, run and survive away from humans, always to be wary of humans!

Set in Russia at the turn of the 20th Century, as the Russian army threaten their way of life, this brilliant and evocative novel is about standing up for the things you love and being fearless.
