The Wolf Princess

By Cathryn Constable and Constable Cathryn

Book Overview

A captivating, atmospheric mystery set in the crystalline winterland of Russia.

Abandoned in a blinding blizzard in the wintry wilds of Russia, Sophie Smith fears for her life. But just like in a fairy tale, a princess comes to her rescue: the beautiful, exotic Anna Volkonskaya. Over a river of ice in a horse-drawn sleigh, she brings Sophie and her friends to a magnificent, if weathered, winter palace.

At first, Sophie is enchanted by Princess Anna's stories of long-ago royalty, of white wolves and gray diamonds. But when the princess takes a particular interest in her, Sophie grows concerned. What is her place in the sinister mystery that surrounds her? Even as the wind and wolves howl outside, is she more in danger now, a prisoner of the palace, than she ever was lost in the snow?

This is one of my faves!

One of my favorite books since I first got it when I was a kid! Ordered a new copy after losing the first one. This is a great story about a young, orphaned girl, who lives at boarding school in England, who finds herself in the middle of an adventure that takes her and her friends to Russia, where she has always dreamed of going. A coming of age tale that is perfect for elementary to teenaged girls.
