Wolf in the Attic

By: Paul Kearney

Narrated by: Bronwen Price

Anna Francis lives in a tall old house with her father and her doll Penelope. She is a refugee, a piece of flotsam washed up in England by the tides of the Great War. Once upon a time, she had a mother and a brother, and they all lived together in the most beautiful city in the world. But that is all gone now, and only to her doll does she ever speak of it.

And then one winter day, she finds an interloper in the attic. A boy named Luca with yellow eyes, who is as alone as she is. That day, she’ll lose everything in her life, and find the only real friend she may ever know.

Critic reviews

“Very good indeed. A great Oxford novel; and the wonderfully conjured period detail...the characters are expertly written: they feel absolutely real, and the real-ness evocatively off sets the deftly handled supernatural elements.” (Adam Roberts)

the book is captivating I have read and listened over five times

best book ever I love it Is not a childs story at all but it's written through the eyes of a girl who has the ability to see a world with in this world

Fulfilling

Beautifully written. Ana's world was rendered with stark clarity. Her thoughts are profound for such a young lady. A couple times I was overwhelmed by how sad this story is. I cried a couple times. Wonderful ending, wonderful book.
