Wolf Brother
Publisher: Orion Children's Books
Thousands of years ago, the land is a dark forest, peopled by hunter-gatherers who know every tree and herb. Then a dark, malevolent force conjures a demon contained in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees - a demon determined to destroy the world.
Twelve-year-old Torak sees his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son that he is the only one who can stop it - he must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit, and beg the spirit's help to overcome it. But Torak does not want to be a hero - frightened and alone, he must set out on a terrifying quest which will see him tricked and betrayed and every turn. Thankfully he has the company of a young wolf cub, whom he seems to understand better than any human.
The first book in Michelle Paver's hugely popular Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series, Wolf Brother is a gripping and original adventure story. Magical, imaginative, vividly-told and rich in detail, young readers will find Torak's tale completely engrossing.

I have just finished Wolf Brother and I love it. When Fa dies, Torak of the Wolf Clan thinks he has been left alone to defeat the demon bear who killed his Fa. But when Torak finds Renn and Wolf, he discovers he is not alone in this dangerous quest. Just before Fa died, he made Torak swear to either find the Mountain of the World Spirit and defeat the savage bear, or die trying. Because of course, Torak is the listener...

Torak sounds like a boy who would do anything to be away from the spotlight but being The Listener is really hard to not be noticed. A emotional ending happy though sad.
