Hi,
We have just finished reading 'Wolf Brother' and we loved it! We were actually in tears at the end when we thought Wolf had died – but we were so relieved to find out that he had survived!

We haven't had chance to read any of your other books yet but we have some questions.
– Did Torak go back to the Raven Clan to be reunited with Renn?
– Do you think Finn-Kedinn knew that Hord had helped to create the bear?
– What was your inspiration for the book?
– Do you have any pets? We would love to think that you have a wolf or at least a dog named Wolf!

Thank you so much!

Dear Miss Hodgson and Years 5 and 6,

I’m delighted that you enjoyed Wolf Brother!  Now to your questions…. To find out whether Torak goes back to the Raven Clan, you’ll have to read the second book, Spirit Walker.  But here’s a clue: there are nine books in the series (including Wolf Brother) – and they ALL feature Torak, Renn and Wolf.  As to whether Fin-Kedinn knew what Hord had got up to, that’s a great question, but it’s one I shall leave you to answer for yourselves.  Concerning my inspiration for the book, if you go to my website wolfbrother.com and click on CAVE, you will find a video I recorded a few years ago, called “Why I wrote Wolf Brother” .  That tells you all about it.  And finally – nope, I don’t have any kind of pet. You see, it wouldn’t be kind to keep a wolf in Wimbledon, where I live (and anyway, wolves prefer to live in a pack) – and although I love dogs, I prefer just meeting other peoples’ dogs on Wimbledon Common, when I’m out for  walk.  That way, I don’t have to be responsible for a dog and take it for a walk every day, and I have more time for writing.

Thank you again for getting in touch – and I hope that you continue to enjoy my stories, and reading in general!  With best wishes, Michelle
