BIO

Since the age of ten, Michelle Paver has dreamed about running with the wild wolves in the prehistoric forest. Writing THE CHRONICLES OF ANCIENT DARKNESS series has been a way for her to fulfill this dream. To research Wolf Brother, Michelle traveled through the forests of northern Finland and Lapland; slept on reindeer skins; ate lichens, forest berries, and pine resin (Stone Age chewing gum); and peered into the mouth of a very large brown bear. Born in Malawi, she moved to England as a young girl. She is the author of several adult novels, and this is her first children's book.
