Description
Can you go a little faster? Can you run?
Long ago, at a time in history that never happened, England was overrun with wolves. But as Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia discover, real danger often lies closer to home. Their new governess, Miss Slighcarp, doesn't seem at all nice. She shuts Bonnie in a cupboard, fires the faithful servants and sends the cousins far away from Willoughby Chase to a place they will never be found. Can Bonnie and Sylvia outwit the wicked Miss Slighcarp and her network of criminals, forgers and snitches?
BACKSTORY: Find out a few things you didn't know about wolves and learn all about the wonderful world of the author.
Advance Praise
Joan Aiken is a marvel
Philip Pullman
Thrilling tale...stuffed with atmosphere, adventure, memorable
characters and luxuriant Gothic prose. Any child who discovers it will
fall in love, not only with Aiken’s writing, but with reading... The Wolves sequence
has inspired writers from Philip Pullman to Cathryn Constable... Aiken
was a genius, and her reissue deserves howls of delight
Amanda Craig, The Times
Take a whirlwind journey to the desolate, wolf-infested Willoughby
estates. Brave cousins, an evil governess, a horrid orphanage - this
rip-roaring story has them all, and more
