Viper’s Daughter by Michelle Paver

Viper's daughterA boy. A wolf. The legend lives on.

Viper’s Daughter is the seventh book in the award-winning series that began with Wolf Brother, selling over 3 million copies in 36 territories. Like them it can be read as a standalone story.

For two summers Torak and Renn have been living in the Forest with their faithful pack-brother, Wolf. But their happiness is shattered when Renn realizes Torak is in danger – and she’s the threat.

When she mysteriously disappears, Torak and Wolf brave the Far North to find her. At the mercy of the Sea Mother and haunted by ravenous ice bears, their quest leads them to the Edge of the World. There they must face an enemy more evil than any they’ve encountered.

I had a nice surprise earlier this year when I found out there was going to be a new book in the series and I wasn’t disappointed.  I re-read the first 6 books recently and Viper’s Daughter is every bit as absorbing as the rest. The story rarely slows down and there are plenty of twists along the way. Miss McGill *****

White Dolphin by Gill Lewis

‘The white dolphin is a sign that Mum’s out there …’ When they first meet, Kara and Felix can’t stand each other. But on discovering an injured dolphin calf on the beach they know they must work together to save it. Now friends, they set out to find the truth behind the disappearance of Kara’s mother, and to protect the nearby reef.

 But powerful people don’t want them to succeed. And with the odds stacked against them, how can Kara and Felix make their voices heard?

 I thought it was an amazing book. I could read it again and again. I felt I was there the whole time.
