About this item
The companion to a New York Times Editors' Choice and Kids' Indie Next List Pick--a heart-pounding adventure starring a strong heroine who is battling the challenges of being a legend--perfect for reading aloud with the whole family."Exciting, fast-paced, and beautifully written! The perfect follow-up to the first book, and by the end, readers will be clamoring for more!" --Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times Bestselling Author of The False Prince In this Scottish medieval adventure, after attempting a daring rescue of her war-band family, Drest learns that Lord Faintree's traitorous uncle has claimed the castle for his own and convinced the knights that the lord has been slain . . . by her hand. Now with a hefty price on her head, Drest must find a way to escape treacherous knights, all the while proving to her father, the "Mad Wolf of the North," and her irrepressible band of brothers that she is destined for more than a life of running and hiding.
About the Author
From The New York Times: "Drest is a ferocious heroine...it's clear we're in the hands of a master storyteller....'The Mad Wolf's Daughter' feels like an instant classic."Diane Magras has been conjuring stories all her life - from a childhood on Mount Desert Island in Maine with cliffs and the sea to her current home in the woods. Might as well admit this: Diane is rather obsessed with castles, legends, the real stories of history, and tea. She lives with her husband and son and thinks often (perhaps too often) of Scotland, where her stories take place.
