'Filled with wit, warmth and heart, this debut will have you hooked' KEVIN MORAN
Meet the Skidderwolves, a pack of magical wolves who emerge nightly from the forest to race through the streets of Shoak Village, sending sparks of electricity flying into the air.
Their nightly run has been a huge tourist attraction for years - until a local girl is mysteriously attacked, and the finger of blame is pointed at the wolves. Overnight, they disappear.
So when 12-year-old Rory unwittingly brings his dad's strange-looking comb into art class one day, he's shocked when his teacher's reaction is to call the police. It's definitely a Skidderwolf comb ... but why does Rory's dad have it?
