Review:
Feo and her mother live in the northern forests of Russia, miles from anywhere. Their job is to re-wild wolves who have been taken as pups and kept as pets by rich Russians. When evil Rakov orders them to stop their work with the wolves and sets their house on fire, Feo’s mum is captured and taken to St Petersburg prison to await trial.
Ilya, a soldier with a secret passion for ballet dancing, luckily becomes friends with Feo and together with wolves Tenderfoot, Grey, Black and White, they set out to cross Russia and rescue her mother.
This book was amazing! It made me feel as if I was there, watching it happen. I recommend it to children (and adults) who love adventure stories.
