The Wolf of Ennerdale

“This book is amazing and it’s now one of my favourite books because of all the descriptions and mystery.”

“A thrilling read about two intelligent sisters trying to solve a puzzling mystery. An unexpected twist in the story makes it exciting and fun. The next book is already on my to-read list!” Charlotte Goldwyn, Falkner House School, aged 11.

‘A well-told story about two special sisters who help to solve an utterly original mystery. Set in the beauty of the Lakes, this cleverly crafted adventure is both fast paced and fun. A wonderfully enjoyable read. I can’t wait for the next book in the series’.

“Great fun and gripping, I read it at pace wanting to find out was going to happen next.  The characters are engaging and the family touches including the sibling positive/negative interaction bring a wry smile of recognition.  It turns out that the children are smarter than the adults.  A joy to read.”

“With vivid and evocative descriptions echoing another era, The Wolf of Ennerdale is an engaging story. It reminds me of Nancy Drew mysteries but with broader world implications, from diamond mining to cutting-edge technology. The two sisters are wonderfully real and their ability to communicate through their thoughts sparks the imagination. Marvellous descriptions make this story stand out from run of the mill children’s fare; however, dealing with topical issues such as blood diamonds would make this a good read for the older child.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed this clever mystery. The characters are vividly drawn and almost leap off the page, while the fast-moving plot makes it a real page-turner. It can be enjoyed by adults as much as by younger readers.”

“Can't remember when I last read an adventure book for non-adults. Can't remember when I turned the pages so fast. Mae and Issy are my new heroes.”

“A beautifully written and richly layered tale of suspense and adventure, set in the heart of the Lake District with a setting as vivid as its characters. Immersive, thrilling and utterly compelling.”
