Product Description

Book Description
Mystery, emotion and adventure, from the winner of the Carnegie Medal

Product Description
Cassy lives with her granny, until the night that she hears strange footsteps coming into their flat. The next morning, she is packed off to her mum's - a squat in London that her beautiful, simple mother shares with a couple of actors. Cassy does her best to throw herself into her mother's life, even agreeing to take part in their travelling show called 'Wolf'. But she can't ever get rid of the feeling that something is following her, and something bad is going to happen. Her fear grows as time passes, until Cassy knows she must face up to her past: who her father is, why he left and where he has gone. What she doesn't know is that some questions are better left unanswered...

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping post-modernist tale which must be read!, 10 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wolf (Puffin Books) (Hardcover)
'Wolf' is the only book (for years) that has gripped me enough to make me sit down and read it in one sitting. It centres around a young girl and her relationship with her family but with a supernatural twist. It includes fantasy elements such as dream and is primarily post-moderist although it retains the easy to follow structures of realist fiction. Its material may be scary to younger children so is most suitable for the 12-15 year old age range. A 'must-read' for all wishing to examine Cross' work beyond 'The Demon Headmaster.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Gripping, 22 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Wolf (Puffin Books) (Hardcover)
This book is amazing. It is intelligent and beautifully written, and asks you thousands of mysterious questions. It stars Cassy, a teenage girl who lives with her Nan. Cassy knows nothing about her father and asks no questions, either about him or about her Nan's secret midnight visitor. All she knows is that his visits are connected to her sudden visits to her mother's. Bundeled onto a train with her bags and money she dicovers her mother, Goldie, her boyfriend Lyall and his son Robert living in a squat. They are producing a play on Wolves. As Cassy becomes more and more involved in the production of the play, she begins to sense a terrifingly real wolf stalking her....... The story is exciting and keeps you guessing until the last minute. It tells us to look at things in a diferent way and think about what is real and what are lies. It is a brilliant multi-layered novel, for anyone over 12 years old. A wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wolf Rocks in my point of view!, 28 Jan 2002
This review is from: Wolf (Puffin Books) (Hardcover)
Book Review- Wolf

This book is a book about a girl called Casy who lived with her paternal Grandmother. She had a father who had divorced her mother. Casy called her Grandmother Nan.

He came early in the morning. He slowly padded across the portico. And silently passed the closed door. One glimpsed at his shadow. He silently walked past the closed door again, but Cassy saw him!

Cassy had never understood the connection to her midnight visitor and to her Nan's flat and her sudden trips to her Mother's house. But this time, she knew something was wrong.

When Cassy was on her way to her mother's house, she finds out that her mother is living in a squat with her boyfriend Lyall and his son Robert. Lyall, Robert and Cassy's mom are interested in Wolves and are doing a small play about it. Cassy finds herself involved in this play and she also finds out a real Wolf is following her all the time, what could it be?

My Opinion

My opinion is this great amazing suspense story is one of Gillan Cross's greatest book ever. It was funny, intresting and definitely an electrifying splendid daring book. It was also once the winner of the CARNGIE MEDAL.
