A much anticipated new novel from the award-winning author of Rooftoppers, Katherine Rundell. Told with brilliant imagination and a unique voice, this is a modern children’s classic in the making
Katherine Rundell spent her childhood in Africa and Europe and is now a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. She is also the bestselling author of Rooftoppers, a story inspired by summers working in Paris and by night-time trespassing on the rooftops of All Souls. Rooftoppers won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Blue Peter Award in 2014 and was shortlisted for many others. The Wolf Wilder is the first of three new novels with Bloomsbury.
A triumph! Exciting, moving, highly original, fierce, completely
convincing
*Philip Pullman*
The Wolf Wilder has everything: it's a truly compelling read; it's
beautifully written; it's totally original and yet has the familiar
feel of an established classic
*Jacqueline Wilson*
The most exciting new children’s novel for a decade … [Rundell] is
a master storyteller in the Philip Pullman category
*The Independent*
Wolves, snow and a heroine worthy of comparison to Lyra Belacqua.
It’s no mean feat to follow a novel as lauded as Rooftoppers, but
Rundell has done it in great style
*The Bookseller, Children’s Special*
This is glorious. A haunting, fast-paced snowy adventure with
another superb gutsy heroine told in Rundell’s beautiful and witty
style

The Wolf Wilder is the kind of novel that reminds you why books are
worth reading and life is worth living
*Lauren St John*
The Wolf Wilder is Katherine Rundell's best book yet – precise,
magical and wise – it's a story that will stay with you for a long
time after you've read it. I absolutely loved it
*Sarah Crossan*
A gorgeous flight of imagination set in a snowy Russian fantasy
world, this has both the beauty and the fierce, funny and
uncompromising storytelling style that sets Katherine Rundell's
books apart. The Wolf Wilder is a Fabergé egg of a novel – rich,
bright and perfect
*Robin Stevens*
Just finished [the] sparkling, biting, deep-furred, snow-layered,
paintbox bright The Wolf Wilder. Absolutely loved it. Gorgeous
*Hilary McKay*
Come for the magical storytelling, stay for the breathtaking prose:
a new Katherine Rundell novel is always a cause for celebration.
The Wolf Wilder is, in a word, extraordinary
*Katherine Applegate*
The hero of Katherine Rundell’s new book may be young and small,
but Feo has a spirit as wild and dauntless as that of the wolves
she cares for. I don’t know whether this irresistible force of
nature and the colourful gang of waifs drawn to her had an actual
hand in starting the Russian Revolution, but Rundell convinced me
that they did. The Wolf Wilder is chilling (quite literally!) and
thrilling from start to finish
*Tor Seidler, author of Mean Margaret and Firstborn*
