Product Description
WOLVEN is a fantasy firmly rooted in the mysterious present. A boy and his eccentric grandparents live near a strange wood - apparently cursed. He longs for a dog - but the dirty ungainly farm creature finally found by his grandfather hardly fits his image of the perfect pet. And it howls in the night. But it's only when his dog starts to grow human ears that he realises that something is seriously wrong. The truth is stranger than his wildest dreams -the boy who appears, alarmingly unpredictably, is a kind of special werewolf in reverse. A noble, almost heraldic breed of WOLVEN - the kings own werewolves from ancient times, who have been i hiding until rediscovered by evil government scientists who are trying to breed werewolves as weapons

I was initially drawn to this book because of the fabulous cover. The excellent writing and plotline inside do not disappoint. This is a great book. The likeable main characters are 13 year old Nat Carver and his dog Woody who share a remarkable friendship. Without wishing to give anything away this is no ordinary dog! There are villains aplenty too. Wolven will appeal to both young and old - a cracking adventure story which you won't want to put down.
This book is many things. Funny (very). Touching, with a big dollop of fantasy and suspense thrown in for good measure.
A real treat and there are apparently more to come - can't wait. I am a fan of Ms Toft.

I bought this book for my 10 year old son as it was on his school recommended book reads.
It was well worth the money, since my son started to read it he couldn't put it down!

I - like other reviewers - was attracted to this book due to it's cover. After reading the blurb I thought I would give it a try and I most certainly wasn't disappointed. The characters are fun and inventive and the plot is fantastic. There is humour, sadness and a real sense of true friendship. It is more than just a 'boy and his dog' tale (excuse the pun, I couldn't resist!) it really does dig that little bit deeper.
This fantasy adventure keeps you turning the pages and I never tired of the plot. There is something a little different in every chapter and the protagonist grows as the story unfolds. I really did care about the characters and I really did worry about Woody, Nat's 'dog'. The bad guys are everything they should be - nasty, annoying and obnoxious - and the good guys are the exact opposite!
The story is well written for the age group that it is aimed for and the author mixes fantasy and reality beautifully. I like my fantasy to feel 'real' and I certainly felt it from this book. Great plot, pace and character's - what more could you want?!
As an adult reader I did really enjoy this book and have just started the second book. I would recommend Wolven to all readers but I'm sure the ages 9-12 will find this to be a fantastic read.
Enjoy!

Excellent Read
This is first of three books. It is a great read for an adult and even better for a child aged 9 to 13. the cover changes when moved which makes it more interesting. Read more

A new meaning to mans best friend
This book just jumped out at me from the instant I set eyes on it. The cover is holographic and a lot of my pupils played with it much to my annoyance when I was trying to read it... Read more

Surprisingly Intriguing, a good all round read
A good plotline, engages the reader to the finale, and finishes off with an ending thats both rich in suspense and yet provides enough closure so the reader does not think it... Read more

very poor
Poorly written, poorly edited, and with a plot that has more holes than your average sieve. Avoid.

Brilliant storytelling
I bought two copies; thinking my son and my nephew would enjoy reading it, but had a sneaky read myself! It was brilliant and would recommend to older children and adults alike.
