The Wolf of Ennerdale

By: Warren Cabral

Narrated by: Ian Russell

Boisterous Uncle Bill comes to town, bringing trouble with him in the form of a brutal mercenary tracking a diamond smuggler. With their ESP and deduction skills, Mae and Isla find themselves caught up in an international terrorist plot involving their parents’ workplace, risking a nuclear catastrophe that could destroy them all. Can they work out the purpose of a peculiar device they found before it’s too late?

Meet the Donaldson girls – primary schoolers and detectives. Mae, clever and very, very proper. Isla, a wild, artistic soul most at home wandering the fells of England’s beautiful Lake District. They are united by an uncanny ability to share their thoughts.

Critic reviews

“With vivid and evocative descriptions echoing another era, The Wolf of Ennerdale is an engaging story. It reminds me of Nancy Drew mysteries but with broader world implications, from diamond mining to cutting-edge technology. The two sisters are wonderfully real and their ability to communicate through their thoughts sparks the imagination. Marvellous descriptions make this story stand out from run of the mill children’s fare; however, dealing with topical issues such as blood diamonds would make this a good read for the older child.” M.
