Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: Wolf Brother-Michelle Paver (CD)
Title: Title: Chronicles of Ancient Darkness: Wolf Brother Author: Michelle Paver Genre: Childrens / Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Magic Format: CD, 6 CDs, 7 Hours (Unabridged) Synopsis: Six thousand years ago. Evil stalks the land. Only Torak, a twelve-year-old boy, and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through the deep forest, onto glaciers, and into dangers they never dreamed of. In this page-turning, original, and spectacularly told adventure story, Torak and Wolf are joined by an incredible cast of characters as they battle to save their world. This is first book in The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series. Review: School Library Journal Gr 5-9-Set 6000 years ago, this fast-paced adventure delves into a world of spirits and mysticism not often seen in children's literature. Torak, 12, witnesses his father's brutal attack by a giant, demon-possessed bear and promises to find his way to the Mountain of the World Spirit. Before dying, his father instructs him to avoid other men and tells him that his guide will find him. Sure enough, Torak is soon adopted by a wolf cub, also recently orphaned, with whom he is able to communicate. The bear continues to terrorize the forest, but Torak is able to avoid it with Wolf's help. They are captured by the Wolf clan, who believes that Torak is the Listener, and will rid the forest of the bear when he fulfills a prophecy by delivering three lost artifacts to the mountain. He must solve an obscure riddle to find the artifacts and traverse dangerous lands, all the while evading the evil bear. Paver's depth of research into the spiritual world of primitive peoples makes this impressive British import, slated to be the first in a six-book series, intriguing and believable.-Karen T.
