The Wolf Wilder - Book Review
THE
WOLF WILDER
The Wolf Wilder by
Katherine Rundell is a fascinating story of a 12-year-old girl named Feodora. Feo
lives with her mother in a remote area of Russia. She has seen more wolves than she has met
people. Her mother, Marina, is a wolf wilder. A Wolf Wilder is basically an
opposite of animal tamer. People send them the wolves that they can’t control.
Feo and her mother ‘untame’ them so that the wolves can live in wild again.
But not all people love wolves like Feo does. Some hate them
and think that they are vermin. One such person is General Rakov. He burns
their house and takes her mother prisoner when they didn’t let him shoot the
wolves.
Now Feo sets off on a journey to free her mother from the
prison. She is escorted by her loyal and trustworthy wolves, White, Gray, Black
and a newly-born pup. During her journey, she meets Ilya, 13-year-old boy who
abandons his army duty to accompany her in her adventure.
Read the book to know how this little ‘wolf girl’ manages to
inspire an army of children and give hope to terror-stricken adults against the
evil general Rakov. This book beautifully conveys the message of bravery,
friendship and compassion.
The author, Katherine Rundell, has gracefully set forth an
intriguing plot with amazing characters. Her well-put story combined with
gorgeous illustrations by Gelrev Ongbico make this book a lovable read.
All in all, this book is a joy to read and I would recommend
it to anybody aged 9 or above.
