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.
