The Children of Wolf Rock

About this book

Minna loves Storm Loch Academy from the moment she arrives. Starting Year Seven at a boarding school in a remote part of Scotland had seemed a daunting prospect but her primary school years had been utterly miserable: too much noise, too many people, too little peace. 

Once she sees the mountains, lakes and seemingly endless swathes of unspoilt open space, she feels immediately at home.  

Staying at school for the holidays, she befriends Kass and Tom. When they come across an ex-pupil living wild in the valleys, she has a convincing story about why she’s there. But then her clothes and belongings are found abandoned near a lake and everyone assumes the worst. 

Is she dead? Or is there a more complex explanation for her disappearance? Despite the potential dangers, Minna and her pals are determined to get to the truth.  

A masterful piece of storytelling from an award-winning author who specialises in exciting and believable outdoor adventure stories with humanity at their heart. 

With insightful descriptions of how Minna experiences the world as a neurodivergent person and an empathetic depiction of how a controlling/coercive relationship can be kept hidden this is a multi-layered book that will have wide appeal.
