Russian edition of Wolf Brother

Russian edition of Wolf Brother
Lynn Writes…

Hello
With my class, we are reading and enjoying,Wolf Brother and have a class set of books . I have a Ukrainian boy in my class who is a refugee from the war in his country and although his English is improving daily, I would love to find a Russian (the language he speaks) translation of the book. It would help him with his understanding of the story plot and also appreciate the richness of the language in your writing.
I cannot seem to find anywhere to buy the book in Russian and I wonder if you could point me to stockists ?
Many thanks and with kind regards
Lynn Hinder

Dear Lynn, it’s great that your class is enjoying Wolf Brother, and I would love to help; but I’m afraid I can’t be much use.  At the time Wolf Brother first came out in 2004 it was translated into Russian, but I don’t know whether it’s still sold in Russia.  So all I can suggest is that you look on one of the online secondhand book websites (I often use abe.co.uk for research, and it covers foreign language editions), and if you can’t find it there, maybe ask my UK publishers, Hachette Children’s Books, if they can assist you.  I’m so sorry I can’t be of more help, and I do hope that you’re able to get hold of a Russian edition.  With my best wishes to you and to all of your class – and may the guardian run with you!  Michelle
