The first of three funny, full-of-heart adventures in this new fantasy series that follows a gentle but determined vegetarian wolf named Faelan (which means ‘Little Wolf’ in Gaelic), who is something of a misfit, derided by the other wolves in the pack. He would rather make friends with other animals than eat them! He also likes to grow vegetables and play the harp. One day, he encounters a chicken named Avian – a clever and courageous leader on a quest to rescue her flock of enslaved barn chickens. Together Faelan and Avian embark on a hair-raising quest…

• Popular picture-book author Juliette MacIver has written a brilliant junior fiction novel trilogy, utilising her lyrical way with words in a gripping adventure story that will keep readers enthralled.

• In the tradition of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh and Watership Down.

• Into the Lockjaws (Book #2) and Faelan the Fearless (Book #3) are also available.
