Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver

I read the the book Wolf brother. By Michelle Paver. 12 year old Torak’s father was killed by a great powerful bear. Before his father was killed he told him to search for the high spirit mountain with the help of the guider. Torak ran to escape the bear and made the escape. Now, he’s alone in the woods with a mad killer bear. When he comes across a wolf pup. It’s family, dead. he’s starving and wants to kill the pup, but he holds back. Could this be the guider?

Now Torak and the pup are off. Suddenly, they’re captured. The clan that took him wants to kill him. One girl, helps Torak escape. Can they make it to the mountain in time? Will they get caught by the clan? Or worse, the bear? I chose this book because it shows trust and help get you a long way. There’s also lot’s of adventure. There are some gruesome parts though, so I don’t recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t like that.

The age level for this book is 9-12. There are 293 pages. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a quick read. The London Times says “Wolf Brother is the kind of story you dream of reading and all too rarely find.” Publishers Weekly says “Torak’s coming-of-age tale will keep the pages turning.”
