I really enjoyed this book, particularly the way it came full circle at the end. I found it powerful and atmospheric, whilst still being accessible. I liked the way the boy could communicate with the animals and the mirroring of behaviour and attitudes between humans and animals. The way tragedies were addressed, such as the wolves being hunted and Africa being sold by his Mother, were very effective and could generate some interesting conversation amongst younger readers.
