Michael Morpurgo has created a sweeping and dramatic story in the time of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
This spellbinding tale is complemented perfectly by Michael Foreman's illustrations.
Robbie McLeod and a wolf cub, both orphaned, venture far from their birthplace, a land of rebellious fighters and vicious redcoats.
There is little constancy in Robbie's adventurous life, save for the companionship of his wolf.
But when at last Robbie finds a place where he can peacefully make his home, he knows in his heart that the wolf must find his own natural home too .
