The Wolves of Greycoat Hall
By Lucinda Gifford
Illustrated by Lucinda Gifford
A deliciously funny tale, with equally amusing illustrations, about being judged for what, rather than who, you are.
When Boris and his parents learn that Scotland is re-introducing wolves, they leave their mansion in Morovia for their Scottish homeland. But these wolves aren’t planning to settle in the wild, oh no! Instead, they book into the exclusive Highland Hotel, from where they plan to enjoy Scotland’s best tourist spots and cuisine. But is Scotland ready for holidaying wolves? Especially such hungry ones? And why are certain people so unhappy to see them? From spooky dungeons to scheming developers, the Greycoats’ new adventure is full of surprising discoveries.
- A deliciously funny tale, packed with amusing illustrations, about being judged for what, rather than who you are.
- The lively, heavily-illustrated text will appeal to fans of Alex T. Smith (Claude series) and Chris Riddell – making this a must-read junior fiction novel, with engaging pictures and jokes for all ages.
- Important theme: At its heart, this is a story about our very refined wolves being judged for what they are, rather than who they are.
