About this book

Will and his beloved dog Whisker are the best of friends. Then, one fateful Sunday while playing in the garden, the pair are unexpectedly summoned to Wolf-World – a magical, forested realm where wolves are in charge. 

Will is shocked to discover that he can now communicate with Whisker, and that his cheeky pup has transformed into a mighty wolf!

Will and Whisker-Wolf meet Maple Pack and begin to discover the reason they were summoned. Rifts are forming in Wolf World which only they can heal. 

With fierce rival wolves to contend with and a mysterious girl called Clara who has no wolf of her own, it's up to Will and Whisker to harness the power of mooncraft and save Wolf World, while their own unique bond is tested to its very limits. 

This gripping fantasy adventure leaps into the heart of the action from the outset and is packed full of magic, surprises and peril to keep readers hooked. Along with the action, there is an underlying tender message about love, loneliness and the special bonds between humans and animals. 

It is illustrated throughout in black and white and would make a great choice for adventure fans and lovers of all things canine!
