About Sisters Of The Wolf
Product Description 2022 Red Maple Award ― Shortlisted Can two Ice Age teens separated from their tribes overcome their differences to outwit their pursuer and survive the unforgiving wilds? The climate is changing, game is disappearing, and two peoples of the Ice Age compete for survival in a savage world. Keena, from a powerful band of Neanderthals, and Shinoni, daughter of a Cro-Magnon shaman, are torn from their families by Haken, a ruthless hunter. The girls dislike each other but soon discover they need one another to survive. Together they escape but are pursued by Haken across an Ice Age landscape rumbling with advancing glaciers and teeming with mighty predators. As Shinoni and Keena work to overcome disaster at every turn, they are joined by Tewa, a powerful she-wolf who becomes their guardian and spirit guide. Can their growing friendship overcome cultural, racial, and even species differences? Will they ever be able to get back to their families? Only the spirits know. Review Sisters of the Wolf is a fun, action-packed story. It is well-written and well-researched. I recommend to any young reader looking for a new and unique read. ― Judy B., Librarian at East Muskingum Middle School Miller-Schroeder shows that girls have always been capable on their own, and encourages young girls to get interested in prehistory, and scientific fields like paleontology and archaeology. Both informative and engaging, Sisters of the Wolf will interest readers of Jean Auel’s Earth’s Children series, and anyone interested in learning about prehistory. Recommended for readers aged 11-16. ― Sienna for the Surrey Libraries’ Teen Book Review This book demonstrates what true teamwork and trust are all about [and] proves that anyone can work together and achieve all obstacles no matter if they are friends or enemies ... An enticing and adventurous read that will teach many life lessons along the way. ― Meghan S., Librarian at Lackawanna Public Library While it was clear Shinoni is a more advanced human (Cro-Magnon's are called early modern humans) ― and one the reader could relate more to ― Keena's willingness to try, to learn, and to change made her an enjoyable character to read. ― BookTime The action in this fast-paced survival story moves quickly as the girls come across one fearful predator and pitfall after another, and the novel is sure to pique an interest in prehistoric people and places. ― Kirkus Reviews The hardships, lifestyle, and priorities slide in to form a rich environment, and it's clear that the girls both have different ways of seeing life, not only compared with each other, but with early teens today. ― Bookworm for Kids The strong girl-power in this vibrant storytelling about friendship and trust across racial and species boundaries is even more compelling with its prehistoric setting. Intriguing and fast-paced, this adventure with its strong characters and vivid details of a long-ago time and place keep a reader captivated right to the satisfying end. ― Judith Silverthorne, award-winning author of Convictions An atmospheric and suspenseful tale that will take young readers back to prehistoric times. ― Alisha Sevigny, author of the Secrets of the Sands series This was a great book. It reminds me of Children of the Dawnland by W Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear. The story uses information gathered by archeologists and weaves it into an intriguing tale. I enjoyed the relationships with other peoples and the animals they encountered, [and] the female heroes and their friendship. ― Tracey M., Librarian at Gates Public Library Packed with excitement, adventure, and character development ... The pacing of the book is quick as the girls come across many problems one after another. The novel will interest many readers as it does not only explore the difficulties that the girls had to face, but also teaches the readers about overcoming racial differences. ― Benjamin for Surrey Libraries’ Teen Book Review
