Nan mysteriously banishes Cassy from her home. As a result, Cassy embarks upon a search for her vagabond mother. She joins an odd cast of characters living in Goldie's London squat to produce a school program about wolves, which then begin to haunt her waking hours, as well as her dreams. The content here is complex and chilling, just right for its intended young adult audience. Foreshadowing, symbolism and folklore references enrich the story. Christian Rodska's inflections are studied, his pacing perfect. Though some Briticisms may give young listeners pause, they won't interfere with enjoyment of this frightening tale. T.B.

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 tohappen.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 somequestions are better left unanswered. Cassy's only image of her father is the photo he left behind, long ago, when he abandoned her. Where did he go? What made him leave her beautiful, simple mother? Cassy has never dared ask the question aloud-in case the answer is dangerous. But some questions are better left unanswered . . .
