Ask Michelle Anything
Antonia Writes…

Hi Michelle! I love Wolf Brother. It's my favorite book saga
To be honest, I started it last year and I just finished Outcast, but I haven't continued because I'm waiting for a friend to finish it to start OathBreaker with her🄹 But I'm very anxious to continue, I hold back watching and making little sketches of drawings and trying not to see spoilers unintentionally…
And I have a long list written on my cell phone of theories and reflections…
I'm obsessed with this saga. And although I had to read the first 3 books for a test at school, I read Outcast on my own and I plan to read the rest (when my friend finishes Outcast🄲)
From Spirit Walker, I saw these books beyond another book for school, I prayed that the next one we had to read would be the next in the saga😭
I read them on my cell phone, but my friend plans to buy them physically and share them
Among many other things, something that I would like to highlight about these books, It's the details, for example, Pa gave his knife to Torak telling him that he needed him more.. I didn't even remember it, but my mind exploded later.. And it is just one example, because there are many more "😨" It made me go crazy
You were born on September 7, right? Me too! When I found out, I was the happiest person😭
I'll be 16 this year
Greetings from Chile😸 Thank you for these books!And sorry for the wording, things to write in the translator😭

Hola, Antonia!Ā  That’s the extent of my Spanish, I’m afraid, but I’m very impressed with your English – whether or not you use an internet translator!Ā  I do love your enthusiasm for the Wolf Brother books – particularly that long list of your theories and reflections; and it’s great that you’ve been able to share that enthusiasm with your friends. Thanks, took, for that example about Torak’s father’s knife.Ā  Planting those sorts of details took a long time, but I found it very rewarding, and it’s fascinating to hear that you do too.Ā  Ā I should also add, in case you didn’t know, that the sixth book isn’t the end of the series, because a few years after I finished it, I wrote three more.Ā  I know that Books 7 and 8 are available in Spanish, published by Salamandra (La Hija de la Vibora,Ā and La Estrella del Trueno); I’m not sure about the last one, Book 9.Ā  But I’m sure you’ll be able to find out.Ā  And finally, what a coincidence that we share the same birthdays!Ā  I hope you have a very happy 16th birthday on Sunday – and that you enjoy your further adventures in the Forest with Torak, Renn and Wolf!Ā  With very best wishes, Michelle
