Haiii I wanted to say I LOVE the world brother series, I'm currently rereading it for I think the fourth time now (I lost track haha) and I still absolutely love it so thank you so much for creating something so special :), basically I was wondering whether you were still trying to get a film or series made? And if so what style would you be looking at (live action, animated, anime etc) or if you might ever write short side stories and adventures set at different times during the series that aren't important to read just fun 🙂

Hello, Poppy.  I’m delighted that you like the Wolf Brother books so much, and I’m so glad that you enjoy re-reading them.  I also re-read books that I’ve enjoyed, sometimes after many years,  and I always see something new in them; I hope you do too.  As for a film or tv series, it’s really up to the studios to decide.  I would like to see the stories adapted eventually, although only if it was done in a way that was faithful to the spirit of the books.  And I’ve no idea how they would tackle Wolf!  You asked a good question about what kind of adaptation I’d prefer.  I’d be happy either with a really good animation, or with live action – although if the latter, I’m pretty sure that Wolf would have to be mostly computer generated, as wolves aren’t dogs, and can’t be trained (they don’t see the point of obedience).  Finally, you make an interesting suggestion about short stories set at different times during the series.  I can see the potential for that, but I’m afraid that I’ve no plans to do anything like that.  However, with nine books, I hope you’ll be able to make many more visits to the Forest, along with Torak, Renn and Wolf.  Thank you so  much for getting in touch – and may the guardian run with you!  With very best wishes, Michelle
