Wolf Princess

"In The Wolf Princess , instead of a tropical island, the reader goes on an extraordinary adventure to Russia with three school friends – not that this is any school-trip, but an amazing steam-train ride through snowy forest to a grand, but dilapidated, onion-domed winter palace! Though this story is set in the present-day, it somehow feels as if you’ve been plunged into a Russian fairytale from the past: a frozen world of lost diamonds where you must travel by horse-drawn sleigh. There are white wolves howling outside the windows at night. And the best thing is that it’s somehow so entirely believable. From the comfort of their own home, the reader gets to travel with those girls. This is escapism in books at its very best. “From the comfort of their own home, the reader gets to travel with those girls. This is escapism in books at its very best ” I think you can tell that I’m not one for gritty realism. I love books that take you away from the humdrum of everyday life. Imagination allows anyone to see and experience the danger, beauty and freedom of wild places. From the safety of a sofa, you can be surrounded by white wolves, or waist-deep in snow in a Russian forest; bobbing about on a small boat as it navigates its way to a distant tropical island, or galloping along a windswept Scottish or Cornish beach."
