What a lovely read! Lucy and Alpha are 2 very different twins who have more in common than they realise. During the course of the story, both have to make difficult decisions that have consequences. The story is told from the point of view of both twins and it's lovely to see how much they need each other even if they pretend they don't. The story focuses on the rewilding of wolves and would make for a good discussion in a class.

The Wolf Twins was a really enjoyable read! I loved the personalities of both Alpha and Lucy and how Ewa Jozefkowicz showcased their similarities and their differences. I found it a bit confusing at first when the names kept changing as the author used their nicknames interchangeably from the beginning. Alpha/Allie Lucy/Luce.
I loved how real life facts were embedded throughout the story and didn't feel too over explained, though they were definitely obvious. You can tell that the author is familiar with how twins can be in real life by the way she pens their moments of closeness and distance, as so frequently happens with twins who have quite different personalities. I definitely saw myself in the character Alpha as I too am an elder identical twin who is more physically oriented than my counterpart.
Some of the book was very predictable, however that tends to be the case as an adult reading a book aimed at middle schoolers. A great book overall and I will definitely be recommending it!

Siblings ought to be close together, and ought to be there for each other. But what if siblings aren't alike? Everyone thinks that siblings are similar not only in their looks but also in their personalities. What if twins are so different that they fall apart from each other? What can bring them back together? How to keep a broken family in one piece? Is it even possible?
This lovely story asks many questions about family, friendship, and what it takes to hold it together. The beautiful nature plot entangled within helps both the twins and the reader better understand the important values of family and mental health. This will be greatly appreciated by many readers.

A lovely book about change , the struggles of life and how often it is difficult to deal with. This book feels real and genuine, the characters are folks you could identify with and like in real life. The reactions from the children were quite different, some sad, some understanding and relating to the twins, but all enjoyed the book. Like all of the best books, the themes in this story led to many discussions about their own lives and concerns.

Thank you so much to Zephyr / Head of Zeus and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Twins Lucy and Alpha are completely different in every way possible, they think differently, act differently and have different hobbies. When Lucy struggles with her mental health and stops going school and Alpha grows angrier by the minute being ignored by her family, one thing connects them a wolf cub called Claw at their mums rewilding program.

I really enjoyed this book it was wonderfully written and I loved reading the story from both twins perspectives it was so beautiful. Both girls had serious struggles and I really liked the way they were handled, Lucy with her anxiety, her self harm by hair plucking and Alpha with her anger that bubbled and bubbled inside her. The fact that the author managed to capture their issues but also include how they came about, how they tried to handle them and deal with them but didn’t always manage it. It was so very caringly and carefully thought out.

The twins were wonderful, both real humans that were flawed and just wanted things the way they used to be, the changes weren’t things they liked. I loved learning about their hobbies with Lucy being so into astronomy it great fun learning from her and then Alphas love of basketball and how she worked hard to be the best she could. These girls wanted so badly to have each other in their lives but a disconnect had formed and it took a big incident to bring them together again.

Claw was such a cute little terror, I loved that the girls both found a connection with him, in very different ways. I did feel really sad though that Claw didn’t like Alpha at all, I wished he could have liked her, given her a sparkle of hope, but that would have made the story very different. I felt bad for him being caged up the way he was, I was certainly seeing it more through Alpha’s perspective then Lucy’s. Though I don’t condone what Alpha did at all, but she was misguided and struggling with neglect and anger so in a fleeting moment did something she shouldn’t have but her conscience caught up to her luckily. I did like learning about Millicent and how she cared for the rewilded wolves and how smart they were, I loved how they searched for Claw it was so clever.

I really thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish, these girls were incredible, protagonists each so different, offering a different style to the story each chapter, you want to help them both so badly to figure things out, get their family to listen. I loved the way the story progressed and the major character developments we got, you root so badly for them both in different ways and it was a beautiful story with a beautiful ending.

There are so many things to learn within this book, so many different facts available which is always great. Most facts you learn just by being engrossed in the story, but this also provides you with extra fun facts at the end which I always enjoy reading and learning from.

The wolves in Yellowstone have featured in several books I have read recently (e.g. Fourteen Wolves and Rewilding) but I didn’t realise they had also inspired The Wolf Twins. It tackles the issue of rewilding but somehow combines that with a love of astronomy and basketball! The characters really bring this story to life - from Alpha and Lucy (I was wondering about twins having such different names but it all makes sense now) who are struggling to adapt to changing circumstances and complex relationships with Mum and Dad, to the supportive Gra and new friend Janus. Their imperfections and backstories tie the whole thing together with the magic of nature and a heartwarming conclusion.
