Having thoroughly enjoyed reading Alice Roberts' first book for children, Wolf Road, my hopes were high for the sequel, Wolf Mountain, and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, this fresh journey as Tuuli sets out alone in the challenging winter wilderness of the Ice-Age tundra, with her tame wolf, Lupa, was even better.
Tuuli seeks the tribe of her dear friend Andar, or Ao, who had been savagely murdered in Wolf Road. On her journey, as she battles with the elements and wild animals, she falls into a trap set by the 'Hidden' tribe. It is this tribe that really captured my interest, as outcasts from other tribes have banded together, and the reasons for their individual banishments such as disabilities, are converted into strengths. Alice Roberts provides this subtle inclusive message, which is all the more powerful in the context of the outcasts' wariness and lack of a common language.
Above all, this book feels that it is based upon rock-solid research. Any child, or adult reading it will learn much about the challenges of living in the Ice Age.
I'm generally suspicious about celebrity books, but this is no celebrity book, this is the eloquent creation of an academic who is completely in touch with her reader.

A wonderful sequel to Wolf Road, I actually enjoyed this book even more than the first one.
Alice Roberts is a magical storyteller and she brings a time long forgotten to life again.
The picture she paints of the Palaeolithic period is so vivid, it’s as if it only happened yesterday. Wolf Mountain is a book that can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter how old you are.
I hope Alice writes more books in this series.

"Wolf Mountain" by Alice Roberts was a very touching read. You can tell the material is so well-researched, and yet the narration never succumbs to infodump: action and plot twists always take precedence. I do hope the author will write more books in this series, so we get to know more about Tuuli's adventures, about her life with Lupa, their talo, and the Others!

Tuuli again
Really enjoying this series so far.
Hopefully a third book won't be too long coming. A really well thought out, historically accurate series.

I found this book a little slow to get going, and only really started to enjoy it about halfway through. It probably didn't help that I couldn't remember what had happened in the first book.
However, it improved greatly about halfway through and became quite a bit more exciting and interesting to read. The description of the landscape and the harsh environments that the characters were having to deal with were especially good.
