Lumi and the Wolf

A lonely autistic girl befriends a white wolf - but to save his life, she must first learn to trust her own strengths. A heart-warming, epic adventure across the snowy wilderness and cosy settings of Lapland by a new and inspiring storyteller. Featuring pages from Lumi's forest diary, including her sketches of nature illustrated by the author.

'Storytelling at its best, utterly mesmerising and deeply touching' Michael Morpurgo

When I met the wolf for the first time, I had no idea that within a week I'd walk a hundred kilometres to save his life.

When Lumi arrives in Lapland, her aunt and uncle warn her of the wild white wolf. But when Lumi meets him and learns he's being hunted, she decides to do whatever it takes to save his life.

With the help of local boy Oskár, she sets off on a perilous quest across snowy fells to reach the national park where Wolf will be safe. To survive, Lumi must trust the things that make her who she is: her sharp senses, the patterns she sees in the forests, and her fierce determination - before the hunters catch up.

An unforgettable story of friendship, bravery, and belonging by an award-winning Finnish neurodivergent storyteller. With cliffhangers, pacy chapters and a gripping voice readers won't want to put down - and illustrated with extracts of Lumi's Forest Diary inspiring readers to connect with nature.
