The Eye of the Wolf

We're not sure whether we enjoyed this book, but it was an easy and quick read. The language was beautiful and evocative which helped create a dreamlike atmoshere that we found interesting. However we thought that the plot was disjointed and surreal in places, a bit like a work of art that you can appreciate but not really engage with. The ending was particularly weak with an unsatisfying conclusion. We found it difficult to imagine how we might excite children with this book. Perhaps reading it again might help to us to identify and engage with the storyline.
