Forced to leave his home and live with his Nan in the Lake District, Lucas struggles to adjust to his strange new world. And when he learns that a wild creature is killing livestock on the mountains, he knows it’s the wolf, that it’s come for him and that he must face it.

Emily the Strange: 13 years old. Able to leap tall buildings, probably, if she felt like it. More likely to be napping with her four black cats; or cobbling together a particle accelerator out of lint, lentils, and safety pins; or rocking out on drums/ guitar/ saxophone/ zither; or painting a swirling feral sewer mural; or forcing someone to say "swirling feral sewer mural" 13 times fast.... and pointing and laughing.

Emily is a mad scientist, a cat lover, a mural painter, a golem builder, a virtuo-spastic guitarist, a wicked skater, a wily troublemaker, a poltergeist tamer, a mystery solver, a master prankster, an extreme procrastinator, a happy loner, and a unique individual. And now there are two of her.
