The Falcon Chronicles: Wilds of the Wolf

Reviews / Votes

A thrilling and richly atmospheric story. * LOVEREADING4KIDS * Fact and fiction blend really well throughout the story but the reader is kept hooked in by the constant sense of danger and action ... A super read * School Librarian * 10/10 - "An action, danger and adventure book" says the cover and IT WAS. * WILLIAM LONGLANDS, AGED 10 * A really exciting adventure. Saker and Sinter make a great team and I can't wait to read more of their gripping escapades. * SAM HARPER, AGED 10 * I enjoyed it so much as the story, characters and location were very detailed. I really liked how the author told us how the animals hunted and survived in the wild without losing the story. * JEMIMA WILCOX, AGED 10 * Zoologist, presenter, adventurer and now novelist, Steve Backshall is quite a talent... Backshall fills the novel with information about the natural world and the ways humans are conspiring to damage it - unless Sinter and Saker can stop them. But with a packed narrative and pacey language, this series will be welcomed by his growing audience. Indeed though, I received two review copies, I have only one left - my nine year old son won't give the other back. -- Tom Jackson * BBC WILDLIFE * Steve Backshall's first foray into fiction tells the story of Saker and Sinter. On the run, they find themselves turned into an unlikely pair of eco warriors. Fast paced with a serious message. * ANGELS AND URCHINS * Exciting to read and vividly brought to life in the dramatic backgrounds of India and China, this is also an important story about protecting wild life. -- Julia Eccleshare * LOVEREADING4KIDS * An action-packed story which keeps the reader hooked all the way through; a very important message too, about the protection of our fragile planet and its creatures. * PARENTS IN TOUCH * This story - which offers a Jason Bourne era update on the Willard Price animal adventure yarns of yesteryear - fairly romps along, with sparky dialogue, evocative description and lashings of suspense... 'When's the next one out?' asked my 11 year old daughter - a far sterner critic. * Mike Unwin, BBC WILDLIFE *
