The Skidderwolves

A warm and funny debut novel featuring a magical pack of Irish wolves.

The Skidderwolves are a pack of notorious wolves who keep everyone in twelve-year-old Rory McKenna’s village awake at night by skidding their way down Main Street, sending sparks of electricity flying into the air. It’s been bringing tourists to Shoak Village in their droves for years. But things take a dark turn when a local girl disappears suddenly, and the wolves are accused of attacking her. Overnight, an order is put out to kill them on sight. So, when Rory brings his dad’s big, strange-looking comb into class five years later, his teacher Miss Hudson calls the police. It’s definitely a Skidderwolf comb – but why would Rory’s dad have it? Rory discovers his dad has secretly been hiding the wolves all these years, trying to keep them safe, believing them to have been falsely accused. But before he can explain more, his dad is arrested, leaving Rory and his best friend to keep the wolves hidden, all by themselves. Only someone is watching them, and now both they and the wolves are in danger...
