Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #1: Wolf Brother

This is a very well written saga that has kept my 12 year old son completely captivated! Although I got this book for my son to read, I have read it as well and enjoyed it immensely. We have since read the next two in the series, SPIRIT WALKER and SOUL EATER, and are equally impressed. I would definitely recommend this book series!

I preview books for my Niece and Nephew (and enjoy them myself)...I've "read" book one (picking up book 2 today) on audio-book ... Ian McKellen presents the audio book and is FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend this book more highly for children or adults. Very fun, very intelligent, and wonderfully written. The author doesn't treat children's imagination as though they are idiots (as many other writers can) and understands that kids can follow intertwining story lines with ease. A side note, if you have a dog or are close to a dog you will really laugh at the wolf character. The book is fun for adults and kids alike. I also recommend the Children of the Lamp Series (just plain fun). Also The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice). The Last Apprentice and The Chronicals of Ancient Darkness are both a little "spooky", but if your kids can read HP book 4...then they'll be fine with these books.

Rebeccasreads recommends WOLF BROTHER as an adventure back in time & place, before the world got so crowded, where the spirit world was just a blink away, & evil came in many shapes. WOLF BROTHERS is not for the faint of heart, who want a dreamy, "noble, vegetarian savage" kind of tale for, after reading this tale, you will be able to survive in the North Woods should you ever find yourself alone & lost. Yes, there's fantasy & fear, magic & mysticism, thrills & spills... & something else... a dependent child learning to survive, to honor the creatures who become prey, & the memories of the past. Refreshing & enchanting. Already a smashing bestseller in the UK, WOLF BROTHER will leap into American youngsters' imagination with all the thrills we yearn for in an adventure.

This book was great, although on the short side it was a great read.It was a very detailed book, and its pretty straight through so you dont get lost and have to go back a few chapeters. I read this book in three days reading about 100 pages a day. I recommend this book to anyone who likes nature or can read.I read this book for a book report and i got a 105! I dont see how its stereotypical as some people say. All i am mad about is that the next book isnt out yet:).

I picked up this book literally by accident and I hadn't heard any thing about it nor the hype. Having said that I finished the book in 3 days. The story is creative, funny and imaginative. When you finish this book you start dreaming of joining a Clan of your own! Well done Michelle Paver and I look forward to the second book Spirit Walker!
