Publisher's Summary

The greatest adventure of all begins here, in this epic prehistoric children's novel from bestselling author, academic and broadcaster, Professor Alice Roberts.

Tuuli is a prehistoric girl, travelling with her tribe through the seasons – making camp, hunting for food and protecting themselves against the many hazards that the climate throws at them. Tuuli knows there’s a bigger world out there, and when she spots a strange boy lurking outside their camp, she realises that he might hold the adventure she is looking for.

He is from another tribe, sent to find safer ground and as he and Tuuli strike up an unlikely friendship, they set out on a journey that will impact the rest of human history.

A vast adventure with a very human heart, full of wild animals, huge scenery and heart-stopping danger and inspired by real anthropological discoveries. For fans of His Dark Materials, Wolf Brother and The Last Bear, join Tuuli on the adventure of a lifetime and uncover the start of all our histories.

Hard to put down

Wolf Road is beautifully written and performed. I was unsure about which children’s age group the story was suitable for, but this story was interesting and generated heaps questions but still had a gentleness to it. (I won’t suggest an age group as we all need to make our own choices). We listened to it on our long daily drive to and from school and once we got into it, it was hard not to listen ahead of the kids and find out what happened! I’m glad I resisted as the unfolding story was fantastic to discover together.
Prof. Alice did a great job turning her more academic and adult work into an accessible and engaging, thought provoking read for a younger audience. Thank you. I’ve read all her other work and wanted to share some of the concepts and themes with the kids - this is the book for that.
Sofia delivered a lovely performance including pronouncing the difficult language so beautifully - it made it easier to get into the story.
Overall, recommended. Very enjoyable and generated discussion, activities (hand print art) and some deep thinking for the kids. Wonderful.
