The Children of Wolf Rock
Book Review
This book is an incredible story of adventure, courage and mystery, and had me hanging on to every word
The Children of Wolf Rock is such an amazing book I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Natasha Farrant (the author) tells the story in a way that makes you feel like you’re living the adventure along with the characters, feeling their emotions and hearing their thoughts. She describes the characters in a way that you really feel you get to know them.
This book is an incredible story of adventure, courage and mystery, and had me hanging on to every word. I would recommend this to anyone who loves stories of daring journeys and edge-of-your-seat cliffhangers.
This book is about three children called Minna, Kass and Tom who go to a boarding school – Stormy Loch Academy. Minna loves it there, Kass gets picked on by bullies, and Tom would rather be back at home, reading comics. But it all changes one day, when in a neighbouring valley they meet a talented guitarist named Addie, and her dog Kit, staying in the valley to practise music. They love her, but when Addie goes missing, the three children find out why she was really in the valley, and they must travel to London to find her…
About the Book
High in the mountains of western Scotland, there is a loch, and on its shores there is a castle, and in that castle there is a school . . .
Stormy Loch Academy is like no other teaching establishment. For one, its headmaster, Major Fortescue, believes in sharing the beauty of the world with his students, so that they will have the courage to fight for it.
For Minna, Kass and Tom it proves to be the safe haven from their chaotic home lives, giving them all a chance to breathe freely, and to roam the valleys and lakes on their doorstep.
But then they come across Addie, an older ex-student, hiding out in the wild, with only her guitar and her dog for company . . .
At first they believe her stories, but when she goes missing, the lies she has told start to emerge. With Addie at risk, Minna, Kass and Tom must travel to London to uncover her past.
