Customer Reviews

Simply Charming!

Although this series of books is written with a much younger reader in mind...I totally fell in love with them. After being captivated by Little Fur and her companions, I loaned my books to my 91 year old mother. SHE was equally enchanted by this series. No matter what age, the adventures of Little Fur will take you to a special place and view our world from the advantage point of an earth friendly creature. Little Fur is possibly the first true 'tree-hugger' and teaches us about what we have lost in our progress towards what we call civilization.

Little Fur, A Mystery of Wolves

What if you were captured by a band of wolves and all you relied on to help was a half elf, half troll girl and a wolf from the zoo? What if a human sprite joined with a wolf sprite? And what if, just what if, a fjord sprite asked you to retrieve one little mirror from a dangerous group of wolves living on a high mountain? Little Fur, the elf troll, preparing for the Great Weaving, asks the wise Sett Owl to help to find her friend Ginger, the cat. He says to find the Mystery of Wolves, so as she leaves the protection of the Old Ones, she heads up the mountains to find the Mystery of Wolves and to rescue Ginger. Even I wouldn¡¦t go all the way up into the mountains to rescue a cat. But not for Little Fur, Ginger was her best cat friend. So with the mountains right underneath Little Fur, a fjord sprite and the dangerous peaks and hills stand in the way of Little Fur getting to Ginger and the Mystery of Wolves. With the help of an old wolf from the zoo, Little Fur is in for an adventurous fantasy tale! My favorite part of the story was near the end, so I¡¦m not spoiling the end of a great story. When a king, still standing from years before Little Fur was born, brought sorrow into everything. Until then, a great sacrifice was made that no one will forget. This story is a great story to read, especially if you are a fantasy reader, even though it is hard to remember who is who since there a so many names from the last few books of Little Fur (if you have read them, which I bet you have not read). Isobelle Carmody tells a fantastic tale from the forest of the Old Ones, to the zoo of a city, to the mountains east of the city, where humans doesn¡¦t even know Little Fur exists. Isobelle Carmody, one of Australia¡¦s most popular fantasy authors, with another story of Little Fur coming up in 2009, has done herself with another fantastic story of Little Fur, a half elf, half troll girl in Little Fur, A Mystery of Wolves. -Julianne Su º
