Sisters of the Wolf
Can Shinoni and Keena, two Ice Age teens separated from their tribes, overcome their differences to outwit their pursuer and survive the unforgiving wilds?
The climate is changing, game is disappearing, and two peoples of the Ice Age compete for survival in a savage world. Keena, from a powerful band of Neanderthals, and Shinoni, daughter of a Cro-Magnon shaman, are torn from their families by Haken, a ruthless hunter. The girls dislike each other but soon discover they need each other to survive. Together they escape but are pursued by Haken across an Ice-Age landscape rumbling with advancing glaciers and teeming with mighty predators.
As Shinoni and Keena work to overcome disaster at every turn, they are joined by Tewa, a powerful she-wolf, who becomes their guardian and spirit guide. Can their growing friendship overcome cultural, racial, and even species differences? Will they ever be able to find their families? Only the spirits know.

How I read this: Free ebook copy received through NetGalley
4.5 stars - This book was SO COOL. To anyone who liked The Clan of the Cave Bear books, this will be gold. I finished it in basically two evenings and only pried myself off because it was honestly time to sleep already.
Two girls, Shinoni and Keena, one an early human, the other a Neanderthal, meet in dangerous circumstances - both abducted by a dangerous man, they have to run, and it's safer in numbers. The girls couldn't possibly be more different - both in terms of culture, as well as skin color, build and even language. Luckily, the Neanderthal girl can speak Shinoni's language, so they slowly form a bond. Soon, a wolf joins them and becomes their faithful companion.
These girls do EVERYTHING, starting from simply hunting, healing wounds, and ending with, I swear, riding a mammoth. It's incredibly cool, and you can feel the book was written to encourage girls to be who everyone says they can't be. Perhaps that was the case for early women as well.
For comparison with the Cave Bear Clan books, this story is a lot more quickly paced, less concentrated on explaining and more on doing, which I liked a lot - that's the reason I'm currently on hold with reading the first Cave Bear Clan book, although I love the concept. So Sisters of the Wolf is basically the same, but more YA, more action and more about human relationships with each other. It's great.
The only thing I didn't particularly love about this story was that there was always this superiority of early modern day humans against Neanderthals in between the lines. Yes, we are the survivors and it is generally accepted that humans were better fit in the evolutionary sense, but we don't strictly know why, do we - we don't really know all that much about Neanderthals at all. For all we know, maybe it was some disease that particularly affected the Neanderthals but didn't really affect us much - so it's not necessarily that Neanderthals were 'stupider' than us. They were just different. I'll bet they had their own wisdom that they could teach us, who knows. Which is why I kind of felt sad that it's always Shinoni teaching Keena, and it's almost never the other way round. But this is purely an opinion! It didn't really affect my enjoyment of the story, and I don't think it will affect yours.
All in all, I'm so happy I chanced upon this book. It was an amazing read and I'm sure it'll stay in my mind for a long time. Now I'm motivated to pick up the Cave Bear Clan books again! And I wish Sisters of the Wolf was translated into Lithuanian too, so my mom could read it. She's a huge Cave Bear Clan fan and I know she would LOVE Sisters of the Wolf too. In general, I wish there were more books written about prehistoric times! They're just so incredibly interesting. Come on, my author friends - give us more!!
I thank the publisher for giving me a free copy of the ebook in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion.

“keena moves closer to shinoni until they are shoulder to shoulder, facing the dangers of the coming night together.”
set 40,000 years in the past, sisters of the wolf is an action-packed prehistoric adventure centered around two very different girls taken from their clans by a violent hunter, and the wolf who guides them on their journey home.
after keena’s uncle, haken, kills the mountain lion that has been preying on her neanderthal clan, he takes her back to his own clan as payment. not long after, he and his hunters slaughter a nearby tribe of cro-magnons and abduct shinoni when they find her in the forest afterwards. keena and shinoni have nothing in common, but when they escape, they are forced to work together to survive.
though this book is listed as young adult, it’s more suited to middle grade readers—the writing and storyline are quite simplistic, with immature and slightly repetitive dialogue. however, it’s obviously very well-researched (i loved all the details about the animals!) and it seems like a great way to introduce younger readers to a fascinating time period.
i received an arc from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I just loved this book! If it sounds close to Clan of the Cave Bear, it is. But because I am a fan of author, Jean Auel, I just new that I would adore this book. I was not disappointed.
The description pretty much outlines the story so I won’t rehash what has already been said. But I will say that the character development is superb for a Teens and Young Adult fiction novel. I enjoyed how the author focused on Keena and Shinoni since they are the main protagonists. A lot can be said about Keena and Shinoni, and Miller-Schroeder captured the essense of these two girls as the approached their teen years in such as hostile environment.
Miller-Schroeder’s world building skills shine through as she paints a picture of the stone age, its inhabitants, and wildlife. Her descriptions sums up living during those turbulent times and the struggles that humankind had to face.
The plot is straightforward. Though there are some suspenseful moments. Miller-Schroeder deftly crafted a story of Shinoni and Keena’s journey, their budding friendship, and the terrors that they had to face. Some of the events that took place, however, were a little farfectched, bordering on fantasy. But that shouldn’t be a deterrent for an enjoyable read. In fact, it added a different dimension that fleshed out the narrative.
Sisters of the Wolf is a fantastic Teen and YA novel. It is the perfect read for those that enjoy the prehistoric era of wooly mammoths, mastodons, and dire wolves. A glowing five star novel that shouldn’t be missed.

This was a very quick read. I don't have much to say about it, because it didn't leave an impact. It kept me entertained, but it won't be sticking in my mind for any length of time.
As soon as I saw the synopsis for this, I knew I needed to have it. It's compared to Clan of the Cave Bear, which is one of my all-time favorite books. This is definitely more middle-grade than Clan of the Cave Bear, but I still enjoyed it. Because this caters to a younger audience, it was a simpler read.
I could've done without much more exploration of our characters and their jounrey. At times, the plot moved so fast that I could barely keep track of what was happening. I wish every event had been a bit more fleshed out, and this had been 100 pages longer. That little bit of extra length really would've helped me connect to the characters
I loved the setting for this. Its such an interesting time period, and allows so much innovation to be done. I loved picturing all of the animals, it was a ton of fun. Once again though, the setting could've been explored in much deeper detail, which would've helped the story out.
Although this wasn't the right book for me, I can definitely see it making a splash! Books set in the Ice age/prehistoric age are super rare, and I'd love to see more of them on the market

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Sisters of the Wolf in exchange for an honest review.
I don't really have a lot to say about this one. I think Ice Age stories are definitely really rare, especially in YA fiction, and I really appreciate the clear love Miller=Schroeder has for the era and how much research it seems was put into this, but the narration style was really really blunt and undefined voice wise and it made it difficult to get invested in the plot or characters. From the very beginning of this story, we're treated with scenes that are clearly supposed to be emotionally impactful, but I was so unaffected that I went and reread the first chapters multiple times because I figured I must have missed something.

“the hunters searched for the lion, but it was like a spirit and left no trace. perhaps leeswi, the earth mother, had sent it. if she had, nothing could stop it”
-i received this arc through netgalley ( thank you y'all), but it has not influenced my review-
rating: 3.5
the minute i read the synopsis i fell in love with this book. two ice age teens? separated from their tribes? needing to outwit their pursuer? AND survive the unforgiving wilds? sign me up.
however, it did fall a little flat. its categorized almost everywhere as a YA, but I would definitely put it in middle grade. the writing style was riddled with childish dialogue and onomatopoeia, like “woohee”. but, the dialogue did make sense in a way, as the teens in this book are 13 something. but the writing did not manage to keep me engaged completely, which is why it got 3.5 stars, rounded to four (which is something another reviewer mentioned already so i'll just repeat it).
but let's ignore the negatives and talk about the positives:
a primary reason why i think this is suited for middle grade is because of the ending serving a life lesson. it basically shows you these two girls are not as different as they seem and together they can get a lot done. the passion in this growing friendship was fantastic, along with the journey that led to it. character development was done here in an impressive way. these young characters were refreshing to read about. NOW ONTO MY FAVORITE PART
the setting dude, the setting.
the book won its four stars based on the setting alone. i've been dying for an ice age novel , but i could never find any until this. AND HOLY WAS IT DONE WELL. the book opens with a note from the author that explains that she hopes to get more young people, especially girls, interested in prehistory and paleontology. well patricia, you succeeded. reading every single page, you can definitely see the amount of research that went into this, even though you can barely find information on the ice age. the worldbuilding was so good and so worth reading about. i just, i am obsessed, that is it.
i will be forcing all my younger family members to read this and then we can binge ice age.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this for review
A really cool story set tens of thousands of years in the past about the first peoples of Canada.
This was sooo interesting and I found the setting and era a lot of fun to explore. The short version of my opinion is that the plot is fast-paced and action-packed, but also somehow ends up with not a lot happening, yet the author's purpose of the book delivered in spades.
The foreword with this was that Miller-Schroeder wanted to imagine what life might have been like for the first peoples of Canada and set a story in the ice age. This isn't something I've ever explored before (outside of Ice Age, that is) so I loved taking an imagined peep back at this time.
It follows two girls from two different tribes, with their paths eventually crossing. What they encounter throughout the book was such high intensity stuff – plenty of people being killed and a real sense of the plight to survive. But it is a lot of running and running and running, and I wish we had fewer pure-action scenes and more time for other stuff to happen.
There were also strong themes of found family and reconciliation, which I thought was lovely. Not only that, but I think the whimsy of the spirit guides will appeal to many people. I can't speak for how well that representation was done, but from my perspective I enjoyed it and loved following the characters as they heed the signs from spirits along their journey.
I also enjoyed the additional information at the back discussing the author's anthropological research into this time. I loved the way she wove these facts and historical details into the story to give it a sense of authenticity.
All in all, this was good! Worth the read if you come across it, though I'd love to explore this kind of storyline with further developed characters and a plot line with more structure/purpose padded in other than simply running away from the bad guy. But again, the snapshot of the past was more the author's intention than the rest of it, so I feel this delivered on its promise.

March 25, 2021I was actually pretty excited about this one but I was kinda disappointed and I couldn't finish it
I couldn't connect neither with the characters nor the writing.As for the writing,it felt kind of simple and dry to me-which considering the book is aimed for kids,is understandable but personally I can't-.I don't have a lot to say about the characters,since they're supposed to be 12-13 years old in the Ice Age,I think they acted their age.However,as I said,I couldn't connect with them.Also,the pacing seemed a bit fast at some points
All in all,yes I'm not the target audience,yes a child might enjoy this book BUT I didn't 🤷🏻♀️

Thank you so much to Net Galley and Dundurn Press for an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. As always, all opinions are entirely my own. I really enjoyed this book and thought it was very unique and exciting. I have never read or seen a YA fictional book talking about prehistoric people so I thought that the concept was very unique. I also thought it was neat how the characters and details of the book were based on the author's own research! I also liked the friendship formed between the two main characters and thought the adventures throughout the book were very exciting.

I think young people will learn a lot about prehistoric times from this middle grade novel. Shinoni and Keena are strong female protagonists who learn to overcome their differences as they flee the evil Hakan. I especially loved all the prehistoric animals that the author worked so skillfully into the narrative. Go woolly mammoth!!

Wow! This book really impressed me. It is not something I would normally be drawn to but the storyline piqued my interest. This book was wonderful and so impressive. I loved the characters and the journey they make together. I really enjoyed the fact that this book is set in the ice ages. I think it is a wonderful read for readers of ages, including middle grade readers. It is truly a story of love and growth and it is exactly what we need right now.

Excellent, educational and adventurous story set in the Ice Age. A Cro-Magnon girl and a Neanderthal girl have to team up to cross the plains and mountains ahead of an implacable enemy. And that's not counting the wolves.
Only niggle I had was that the names each tribe gave itself were quite similar, so it could be hard to recall which name meant which.
Be prepared for death and menace. Survival will demand all the girls have and more.
I read an e-ARC from Fresh Fiction and Net Galley. This is an unbiased review.

Sisters of the Wolf is an entertaining read, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a novel set into the paleolithic era.
The summary at the back of the book is a good summary as it is so I won't repeat it. This review will include spoilers, so read with caution
***
***
***
The plot itself is quite simple, and it is literally what the summary is. Two girls escape from a ruthless man who wants them for his personal needs and wants (Keena for reproductive reasons. Their group is getting smaller and they need new members; Shinoni for hunting magic. Increase their chances of success).
The adventures of the two girls themselves often seem like disconnected events. There is no event that affects the next, save for two. One when the earthquake happened, and shortly after they found a horse entangled in uprooted trees. And later Shinoni's vision of her mother, and the courage she took from it at the end of her journey.
I really hoped more could be done with the earthquake. It happened suddenly but was never brought up again. Did it affect Haken? what about the two elderly women they meet? The Denisovans?
This isn't something bad about the book. In fact, I think its' inclusion is good because it allows an opportunity for later expansion. The entire plot is very fast paced. People go from tears to laughs in a single paragraph. The author probably wanted to fit a lot more in but maybe there were publication limits? In any case, I can see all the human emotions and all kinds of situations that the author wants to explore in this time period and I appreciate it all very much. Again, the drawback is that there is limited space for all of it. I would love it if the Miller-Schroeder could write another book that is focused and a little more detailed. Sisters of the Wolf would work as good blueprint for getting that started. Honestly, I didn't get enough of Kreel and I would love to see more of him. I am also curious to see the future of Keena and Shinoni as leaders. The summary mentions "game is disappearing", but that was not voiced as a concern at all by any character. So perhaps this could be brought up as a serious conflict that Keena and Shinoni will have to deal with as grown-ups and leaders of their respective groups. There is good-set up for a fleshed out sequel.
An important topic I want to tackle is the representation of Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals. Cro-Magnon's are a little easier to depict because they are essentially early modern homo sapiens. Neanderthals on the other hand are a little tricky. We don't know enough about them.
I have read some reviews that the Krags (Neanderthals) were depicted as being somewhat helpless? That the Kula (AMHs) are showing them how to do everything, but I disagree. If no one told me the Krags were Neanderthals, I wouldn't have known they were. I would have only assumed that they are a cultural group that's a bit more on the strict side. They are practical people who won't take creative pursuits to change things that already work. Why take so much time, energy, and focus to tightly sew a shirt or pants when you can wrap it in a specific way that still keeps you warm? Why shoot from afar when you can do it up-close and personal and get direct results? You are less likely to miss the hit. In contrast, the Kula will try something new, even if there is a high chance they might end up dead doing it. They are a little silly in that way, really (Shinoni riding a horse, or for a more extreme example, thinking a couple good aims at a Cave Hyena will kill it. I'm surprised the creative risk taking of AMHs did not lead THEM to extinction) A lot of these things can appear to be cultural. They just look like they have different priorities. Keena not knowing how to make fire is not a cognitive Neanderthal thing. It's just a cultural trait from her own group. All in all, I think the depiction of Neanderthals in Sisters of the Wolf is a fair one and does well with the information we currently have. I accept and appreciate it for what it is :)
Illustrations would be a fun addition to a book like this, that's one of my afterthoughts.
In any case, this was an enjoyable read. If you like prehistory then I would say you should give this book a read.

All in all, I think the depiction of Neanderthals in Sisters of the Wolf is a fair one and does well with the information we currently have. I accept and appreciate it for what it is :)
Illustrations would be a fun addition to a book like this, that's one of my afterthoughts.
In any case, this was an enjoyable read. If you like prehistory then I would say you should give this book a read.

I am absolutely thrilled to see that this book is one that is coming out! Prehistoric fiction is one of my all time favourite sub-genres and due to the heavy research requirement, we don’t see a lot of authors tackling this time period. So first off, thank you to Miller-Schroeder for doing so!
Sisters of the Wolf tells the story of two girls, Keena (a Neanderthal) and Shinoni (a Cro-Magnon), whose survival becomes dependent on the other after escaping the camp of a brutal Neanderthal Hunter, named Haken. The girls come to rely on one another as Haken chases them down across the Ice Age landscape.
I was very excited by the first few chapters of this book, they promised a dark and intense story, which we certainly got for the most part. There is a lot of violence, death of parents, death of children. Life was not kind to our early ancestors and Miller-Schroeder does not back down from it. And based on those first few chapters, I would recommend this book to mid-older YA readers, however… once we get to Keena and Shinoni’s journey to escape Haken, the story seems to swing from horribly tragic to almost childish adventures.
Wolves are tamed with no explanation; Mammoths and horses allow the girls to ride on their backs. If there had been a stronger spiritual element, I think this could have been explained, but it did feel as if these were added without too much thought into how it worked in comparison to the rest of the world that had been set up. Additionally, Miller-Schroeder has a habit of sometimes describing shouts/screams (ex. “Aieeeeeee!” Instead of just “the woman screamed.”), which gives the story a very middle grade/children’s book element that clashes with the darker material included in the pages.
Ultimately, these elements make it difficult for me to place on the age recommendation scale. As a personal preference, I would have preferred if she had gone all the way into the darker adult range and embraced more nuances like in the Earth’s Children series. However, I also recognize that Miller-Schroeder was not attempting something as massively epic as that series, and can appreciate her story as an introduction of the Ice Age world to a younger generation.
Also I would just like to take a moment to say that I do wish Keena’s ability to speak Shinoni’s language was a little bit more appreciated. The girls could communicate and the story could happen because of Keena’s knowledge. I would have liked to have seen a discussion and challenge about why Shinoni didn’t think it relevant for herself to learn words from Keena’s language, but she was happy to have Keena do most of the work speaking in her second language. (I think it’s a really good conversation piece for younger readers too).
I am being picky over some details, but that is because I really enjoyed this book and see so much potential and all of the work that went into crafting this story! Overall, Sisters of the Wolf was an incredibly well researched and fun story and I hope it gets many more young readers into this fascinating era of our history!
PS - I enjoyed the brief reference to Shanidar 1 (Neanderthal remains of a man that had healed from a lost arm). While it is an interesting addition to the story (he is a fascinating story afterall!), I feel like it is overdone in prehistoric fiction because of its uniqueness, so I think it’s briefness was appropriate here. Also, and I may be wrong on this reference, but I do think there was a reference to Shanidar 3 (Neanderthal remains of a man who had survived 2 weeks-1 month with a punctured lung), which is much less known, and very cool to see!
PPS - I really hope the final version of this book has a map!

Set in the ice age, this tale accompanies two very different girls on a dangerous adventure, where the walls of racism melt under common purpose and forming friendships.
Shinoni and Keena are about the same age, thirteen, but are as different as two girls can be. One is the member of a human tribe, while the other stems from the disliked Neanderthals. They have nothing in common outside of the world they live in, and that one is harsh and unforgiving. But when an evil hunter steals both from their families, they soon form an, otherwise, impossible bond. Not only do they need to escape and return to their families, but, more importantly, they'll need to survive.
The setting grabbed me on this one. I can't say that I've seen many YA novels set in the Ice Age. As for the historical side of thing, the author has, obviously, put a ton of research into this one and did her best to bring the life and cultures as closely to real life as one can in these circumstances. So, hats off to that. The hardships, lifestyle, and priorities slide in to form a rich environment, and it's clear that the girls both have different ways of seeing life, not only compared with each other but with early teens today. The dangers and worries match the harsh life, and the opening pages bring this to light immediately.
There is tension and this is a fairly, quick-paced read, in general. The girls face a horrible situation, and this comes across with as much adventure, emotion, and fear as it should. It was interesting to include both a Neanderthal and a human (I looked this up, and it does follow historical research, too), and see how the two groups might have viewed each other. This also lays a great base for the wonderful friendship which develops between the two girls.
Unfortunately, I had trouble staying interested in this one while reading it and did lay it down without the huge need to return to it again. But I did want to miss out on seeing how it ends, either. While emotions flow and the backgrounds/world is well-laid, I found the characters still a bit superficial at times and couldn't connect to either of them completely. The pacing stuttered every now and then (only a coupe of times, though) moving too quick or a little too slow. Still, this was by no means an uninteresting read. I think it just wasn't for me completely...although there were things I really enjoyed about it.
They say that this one is for fans of The Clan of the Bear Cave series, which I've never read. So, I can't say whether that is true or not. I did find this one more for a tween audience, than either a solid young adult or middle grade read. In any case, it's worth a go if it sounds like something you'd enjoy because there are quite a lot of things, which make this a good read. Just for the right person.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book. I am offering my honest opinion voluntarily.
CONTENT WARNING: death of a child, death, violence, murder, gore
This was a fresh and really interesting story that reminded me a lot of Clan of the Cave Bear, but for a younger audience. It also has more of a focus on action, rather than the long, drawn-out descriptions that Auel is so fond of. And while it’s a YA book, it often reads more as an MG book, making it ideal for younger readers.
Shinoni and Keena are easy characters to like, although they are vastly different in many ways. Keena is more cautious, while Shinoni is a lot more willing to break the rules and try new things. The only thing that I didn’t really like was the way that there was a little nuance that indicated that the Cro-Magnon people were “better” than the Neanderthals, although both were doing their best to survive in extremely harsh and difficult times.
Aside from that, the story was a great one. It was fast-moving and full of action. I read it quickly and struggled to put it down, always wanting to know what would happen next. The story of two young girls traveling through a landscape could easily have dragged, but the author’s skillful storytelling held my attention and kept me interested for the duration of the tale.
I loved seeing how the landscape could easily become a hazard, but the girls adapted quickly and learned to work together. It was fascinating to see elements of healing, hunting, and knowledge of their environment, as well as how highly developed their senses were, especially compared to how things are today, when we view ourselves as so much more evolved. It made me think that while we have clearly evolved in some ways, we’ve obviously lost some things along the way. This was quite an enjoyable read, and it’s definitely given me a strong urge to reread Clan of the Cave Bear.

Sisters of the Wolf is a story set in the far past, in a prehistorical time. The two main characters, Keena and Shinoni, are, respectively, Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon. They meet by chance, and join together to save each other from Keena's violent uncle, Haken, who follows them across the the countryside. Both Keena and Shinoni are somewhat unconventional, with each wanting more from life that what their roles in their society would limit them to; Shinoni, in particular, wants to be a hunter in addition to being a medicine woman, and wants to lead her clan the way her father does. The details of their skills are historically accurate, their chance encounter and interactions possible and even likely, and the story is believable and well-told. The only thing that stands out as unlikely is the behavior of various animals they encounter; while I can believe that a wolf might choose to follow them, and that the girls would accept it as a spirit guide, it's unlikely that it would bring them part of its kill only a day after their meeting, and even less likely that a woolly mammoth would invite them to ride her back, not just once, but twice, several days apart. That aside, however, this is a cohesive story that weaves together anthropological fact with realistic historical fiction.

I am fascinated by research into the dawn of the human species and this book blends the author's extensive research into a compelling tale. "Sisters of the Wolf" brings the reader face-to-face with the precarious balance between life and death in the Stone Age, 40,000 years ago. The plot involves an early modern human girl from the Kula clan and a neanderthal girl from the Krag clan who undertake a dangerous journey to reunite with their families after they are kidnapped. The fast-paced action unfolds in the present tense as the girls survive a quagmire of quicksand, a pack of hyenas, an earthquake, a stampede of woolly mammoths and other heart-stopping dangers.
I enjoyed the differences in world view that are revealed as the girls learn to trust each other. The Kula girl is depicted as more curious, more independent, with a stronger sense of responsibility to other living things. The Krag is more practical, more cautious and considers her Kula companion to be reckless. The Kula has more advanced tools while the Krag has superior strength. The repartee between the girls adds humour as they mock each other's skills and decisions.
Brava for a great story!

“the hunters searched for the lion, but it was like a spirit and left no trace. perhaps leeswi, the earth mother, had sent it. if she had, nothing could stop it”
4 stars
This book was incredibly surprising and even more importantly refreshing. The setting of this book is something you rarely find in fiction, or something I've rarely encountered. While this book is classified as Young Adult it felt more like a Middle grade to me, in all the positive connotations of the genre. It was fast paced and the characters were really interesting. I loved the way in which the girls worked together and the scenery this book provided. Also might I just add I love mammoths!!!
One thing I will say is that the clear division in who is superior bothered me, I don't like the insinuation that some are better than others, however I did understand it. All in all a really entertaining in quick book that I would love to read again.

This book was received as an ARC from Dundurn Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
This book demonstrates what true teamwork and trust is all about. This book proves that anyone can work together and achieve all obstacles no matter if they are friends or enemies. Even the worst enemies can become friends once they realize how much they need each other not only to accomplish their task but in Keena, Shinoni, and Tewa's case its survival in the battle of climate change. I also love the passion expressed by the characters in their tenacity and fortitude they demonstrated throughout the book. Such an enticing and adventurous book that will teach many life lessons along the way.
We will consider adding this title to our YA collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

A Saskatchewan Book Award winner, shortlisted for 2022's Snow Willow and Red Maple awards. The world is still in the grip of the ice-age. Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons and Denisovans are all human races populate the prehistoric world. Teen girls Shinoni (Cro-Magnon) and Keena (Neanderthal) are thrown together when they are taken by Haken, Keena's viscous uncle and his followers. The girls soon realize they must work together to escape, which they do. Once they are on their own, far from their family groups, they must stay together to survive. Each one learns from the other and they become fast friends. Tewa, a she-wolf spirit guide joins them and together they travel across a landscape full of dangerous predators, and through fierce weather to find their families. Full of edge of the seat tension, ancient predators and landscapes, and imagination. A fantastic read.

Unique fantasy about Shinoni, a Cro-Magnon girl and Keena, a young Neanderthal. Both girls are taken by Haken, an evil hunter. They don't get along at all, but must work together to escape their captor. Fortunately their spirit guide, a wolf named Tewa, who guards and helps the girls to survive. This is a story about overcoming race, culture and even species differences. New friendships are formed as the girls work with Tewa to find their families. Sisters of the Wolf is a fun, action-packed story. It is well-written and well-researched. I recommend to any young reader looking for a new and unique read. Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC.

4.5/5 stars.
Sisters Of The Wolf is an adventure novel set during an Ice-Age which instantly drew me! We follow Shinoni a daughter of a Shaman and Kenna who is from a group of Neanderthals. The character development of these to characters was so good and showed how if you work together you can achieve near impossible things.
This was a really refreshing adventure novel set in a new landscape that has a great deal of wisdom and knowledge behind. I would highly recommend this book, and hopefully there will be more in the future!

Pretty good. The concept is excellent, for sure, and you can tell the author knows a lot about her subject and cares a lot about her story. That being said, I felt like the pacing was off, the story felt much more plot-driven than character-driven, and for that matter, the characters seemed kinda two-dimensional. That being said, I didn't have a hard time getting through it; the writing style is pretty good. My overall feeling is that with more developed characters and a more character-driven story, this would be a very, very good book. As it is, I enjoyed it well enough. It had its moments.

This was my first foray into (pre)historical fiction and I'm glad I went on this journey. I have no real frame of reference when it comes to prehistory other than playing Far Cry Primal (which was surprisingly helpful in visualizing this world and its characters), but Patricia Miller-Shroeder does a wonderful job in immersing the reader in the lives of Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals. Her in-depth knowledge and fondness for this time period really shows and the fact that this is her first fiction novel is quite impressive. I hope she continues to write many more.

In complete homage to Jean Auel, this book takes the reader on a journey with the two protagonists: Keena and Shinoni. Through the forests and mountains as the two girls from different early human groups travel seeking family, they forge their own friendship and indeed become a family themselves. They have to overcome the dangers of this time period as they flee from others who would do them harm and face off against cave bears and lions. This is a fun adventure in a time period that is not usually written about for young people.
January 24, 2025
This is a buddy journey novel, set in Ice Age Europe and featuring two girls in a quest to escape a deranged, power hungry kidnapper and return to their families. Keena is a Neanderthal and Shinoni a Cro-Magnon, but they must join forces to make it through a dangerous Ice Age landscape filled with predatory animals, earthquakes and icy rivers. The cooperation doesn't just extend between races, but between species as the girl ally themselves with wolves, mammoths and horses in their race to escape.

What an enjoyable and inspiring read for junior readers with an original setting. Lots of problem solving and girl power with clean, suitable content. I feel this easy to read tale of two girls from different backgrounds will be very appealing to 10 to 14 year olds and I will certainly be buying it for our school library once published.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an eARC of this book!
I liked this book and I love that it covers a time period you don't often see in fiction books. It was a very quick read which is also really nice. There was clearly a lot of research put into this book which I really appreciate in any kind of historical fiction book.
That being said, I just didn't feel like the book grabbed me or held my attention. I didn't feel connected to the characters or their stories.
