A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

Spirit Walker (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness)

Revue de presse:

'...the momentum for this should be considerable' (Jennifer Taylor CHILDREN'S BOOKSELLER)

'...Wolves are more than just her [Michelle's] friends - they've helped to make her a millionaire and a global publishing phenomenon' (Sally Williams DAILY TELEGRAPH)

'...the perfect concoction of action and narrative is what makes the book so attractive. ...Paver has succeeded in producing a first-class story supported by substantial moral messages... unclouded by the present day' (Edward Malnick DAILY TELEGRAPH (Books) 27/8/05)

'...another gripping, taut adventure in the ancient world' (Anne Johnstone THE HERALD, 3/9/05)

'This book looks set to outdo the massive success of its predecessor' (Julian Exposito BOOKSELLER CHILDREN'S BUYER'S GUIDE: HIGHLIGHTS)

'...the story grips you like a wolf's jaws and won't let go...Her [Paver's] account of their spiritual beliefs suggests deep anthropological research but feels new-minted when described in her taut, elegant prose. Children, who are often very close to these animist beliefs, will find this imagined world as thrilling as Tolkien's or Pullman's...The climax is superb. With Wolf fighting demons by Torak's side for another four books, wolves have never looked more like a boy's best friend.' (Amanda Craig SATURDAY TIMES 10.09.05)

'...compelling sequel to Wolf Brother' (FUNDAY TIMES)

'It's a classic plus - boy journeys and sturggles towards truth with faithful animal friend - but so well done, so fully visualised in so few brush strokes and cliche-free.' (Gay Hicyilmaz TES)

'very well researched... and the stunning revelation at the end of the story will leave you unable to wait for the next instalment.' (Fred Heffer (Age 12) UNDERCOVER)

'the author manages to make you feel like you are part of this ancient world. The next installment is out soon. I can't wait.' (Jessica Dyer SUNDAY HERALD)
