To michelle paver,
Thanks so much for answering to my email!!! I was shaking when I read your answer. I sadly can’t read those other books that you’re making now but I’ll read the other ones!!
I asked because you weren’t really active on Instagram, anyways, I understand you response and I also wanted to ask what books would you recommend to me that you’ve wrote for 12-13 year olds? I also loved the ending of you’re email. Anyways I hope you have a great rest of your day!!

Michelle Replies…

Dear Maryam, I’m so glad that my message made you happy!  A few years ago I wrote a series of five books for ~10-13 year olds, called Gods and Warriors.  It’s set in the  Mediterranean in the Bronze Age (so it’s a bit later than the Wolf Brother books) – but it still has plenty of animals and adventure.  I think it’s still in print in the UK, but I don’t know about the US or other countries.  I hope you enjoy it if you’re able to get your paws on it.

With very best wishes, Michelle

An experience like no other. From a writer like no other...

Successfully published as an adult author, the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (“Wolf Brother”) were her first books for younger readers, followed by her brilliant 5-part series set in the bronze age, Gods and Warriors. On the adult side, her first ghost story, Dark Matter, was a UK bestseller and won massive praise from reviewers and readers alike, as did her second ghost story, Thin Air.
