Den of Wolves

The Kingdom of Wrenly #15

by Jordan Quinn, Robert McPhillips (Illustrations)

Prince Lucas and Clara discover a secret den of wolves in this fifteenth fantastical adventure of The Kingdom of Wrenly series.

Dire wolves are among the rarest creatures in the Kingdom of Wrenly. They travel under the cloak of darkness, sleep during the day, and hunt in the deepest silence. The only proof that these beasts exist is what they leave behind: giant paw prints and haunting howls that echo on the wind. So, when Prince Lucas and Sir Clara find a lost dire wolf pup alone in the woods, they must use all of their skills to find the hidden den of wolves.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Kingdom of Wrenly chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

Honestly the illustrations of the wolf pup are adorable. Read aloud to my 8 year old she loved it

[Kathryn · Rating 3 out of 5]

So, I appreciate that the book doesn't make wolves out to be an evil enemy (in fact, how cute is that wolf pup on the cover!) but I didn't really like how reckless Lucas and Clara are in this book, including blatantly disregarding the instructions of the adult in charge who is trying to protect them. It does get them into some trouble, but in the end they are seen as heroes and I'm not sure that's a great message to send to children. For the record, this was not my seven-year-old's favorite by a long-shot--he found the scenes with the trapped animals too disturbing FYI if you have children sensitive about animals in peril.

119 pgs. This fifteenth book features a pack of wolves. Clara and Lucas find a wolf pup while on an a camping trip to Goblin Falls. They soon encounter a strange situation when Ruskin goes missing. I thought the ending was perfect. Kids will enjoy this fantasy fiction series, especially this episode. Highly recommended for Grades 3-5.

Cute.
Prince Lucas and Clara are not the brightest of children. Their nosiness gets them into spots of trouble in this one 😵‍💫; typical kids not listening to authority. I'm sure it doesn't help that one of those kids is royalty... It's cute, though, like I said.
Prince Lucas and Clara are going with Grom, a wizard who's made appearances in this series before, to the forest of Burth on the island of Burth so they can go to see the Goblin Falls. I guess there's a new breed of wolves called Dire Wolves who can talk, which gave this the essence of one of the Twilight books by Stephanie Meyer.
🤷🏻I don't know what else to say, really. Guess I'll give it 3 stars.

This was one of our favorites in the series! This adventure was fun and relied solely on the kids to save the animals of Wrently from hunters. We loved the sense of family and friendship and belonging that resonated throughout this book.

My daughter actually said "wow we read this one fast" because the story did feel like it flew by a lot quicker than some of the others and had a lot more intrigue.

Absolutely perfect for my animal-loving four-year-old who loves adventuring in the woods.

This was our favorite book in the series by far. I’m sad we are all caught up now but looking forward to reading this series with her little sister when she’s old enough in a few years. Maybe there will be another book or two by then!

Read to R & J.

Joseph: Amazing. I thought it was amazing when we learned the wolves could talk.

Amanda: this was a fun adventure, I loved Andres tent. It reminded me of both the TARDIS, and Arthur Weasley tent In "Goblet of Fire".

I am so sad that I've finished the Wrenly siries. I really don't want to stop feeling like I was in the books. I will miss Lucus and Clara and Ruskin.

[Harper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Might be my favorite book in the series

[Elsa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book starts out a little eerie but then they meet a adorable baby wolf pup and it turns out the wolfs are not so bad after all

[Kinzie Moffitt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great Wrenly story!

[Zazie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was one of my favorite books in the series and I just hope the rest follow this one because it was so good.

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

Adorable as always.

[Anna Cavallo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish, I gave this book a 5 stars for now.
I loved this story and hope the next one is this good.

[Karin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another good one. This adventure had a bit more drama, with a storyline that was harder to predict. The sneezing puppy was an adorable touch.

James liked the parts where Lucas and Clara were camping and they saw a waterfall and heard howling. When they got back to the campsite, their tents were down. Luckily, a wizard went with them to the waterfall and he let them go into his tent, which looked small but it was HUGE inside. When they woke up, there was a baby wolf. They went to return the wolf to its family and there were hunters that were trying to steal the baby wolf. Ruskin got captured by the hunters, so they went to save him. Luckily, the hunters were eating, so they could free Ruskin and a lot of other animals. The baby wolf came to help them and he sneezed, and it woke up Ruskin and the hunters came and picked up the baby wolf and wanted them to not free the animals. But Lucas and Clara did, and there was a wolf pack that came and surrounded the hunters. The hunters dropped their bows and arrows, that had sleeping potion on the tips. When they dropped them, the arrows hit their feet so the hunters went to sleep and Lucas and Clara tied up their hands and feet. The wolves invited the kids to be part of their pack and they said yes.
