To say we are enjoying our new class novel, The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell, is an understatement!
This half term we are trying a new way of reading our class novel. As we listen to the book being read, we are documenting (through words or pictures) what we learn about the characters and the details of the plot.
I hope you enjoy sharing the next chapter of the book together this weekend (photocopies provided with homework sheets.) Please let me know if this is something you enjoy doing and we can make it a regular thing!
Reviews for Wolf Wilder from some highly respected authors
A gorgeous flight of imagination set in a snowy Russian fantasy world, this has both the beauty and the fierce, funny and uncompromising storytelling style that sets Katherine Rundell’s books apart. The Wolf Wilder is a Fabergé egg of a novel – rich, bright and perfect ― Robin Stevens
A triumph! Exciting, moving, highly original, fierce, completely convincing ― Philip Pullman
The Wolf Wilder has everything: it’s a truly compelling read; it’s beautifully written; it’s totally original and yet has the familiar feel of an established classic ― Jacqueline Wilson
